Wraith: Welcome to Christmasland #4

Christmasland is getting crazier and crazier, will anyone make it out of this place? Read on to find out.

Chapter Three: “Fastball.” The calliope plays a lunatic waltz; the rides run at breakneck speeds; Christmasland is open for business and Charlie’s children are closing in on Chess Llewelyn and Agnes Claiborne. Dark magic waits around every corner… but just maybe Chess has a trick of his own up his sleeve.

The one thing that I will say, is that this comic is open for the crazy. I mean some of the things in this series seem to be out of a Tim Burton movie, which is a good thing. Now the one thing is that the children in this issue are fantastic in a sadistic kind of way. The way that they are around every corner and their ruthlessness, is something that is highlighted in this issue. You almost wonder if anyone will survive. However, then you get a nice change of pace because of Chess and Agnes. Now the one nice thing is, that Chess and Agnes definitely have something up their sleeves to survive this crazy place and it fantastic. It is brutal and fantastic. It is something that you will have to read to believe but when you do, you will see what I mean.

The writing for this issue is brutal and sadistic, which is something that works for this comic. I don’t know what is going to happen and when it will and that is perfect. The mystery mixed with the killer attitude and feel, works so well with this that you will be wondering if Freddy Krueger wrote this one.

The art is scary and very detailed. I love the way that each panel feels like a horror film. The color changes from blacks and grays and whites, moves so fluently that you will feel the fear and panic.

It is such good issue that you need to pick it up!
