Private Investigator Jan Westron is no stranger to dealing with the supernatural. However, despite his knowledge, and first hand experience, of strange myths and legends, even he may struggle to deal with the scenes he’s faced with as his hunt for a missing girl develops in a horrific, terrifying way.

This series has been phenomenal, and this issue ramps up the horror to an absolutely wild level. Artist Nicolás Nieto does a fantastic job with the horrific imagery, with a more grounded, earthy colour scheme by Carla Somoza. Flashbacks are handled in vivid and more vibrantly coloured fashion, with Matías De Vincenzo pulling double duty as artist and colourist on these sections.

Shawn McBee and Maciej Jankowski’s script is mostly made up of narration from Westron himself, and we get a great deal of insight into him here, particularly with the flashbacks. His horror at what unfolds really sells just how bad things get, though going back to the art, the gory, explicit visuals also definitely speak for themselves.

I’ve really enjoyed this take on Nordic Noir and Slavic folklore; the latter being an area of mythology I must admit I’m not overly familiar with. I’m looking forward to seeing how the story plays out in the final issue, which I hopefully won’t have to wait long for!
