Great plot twists

The story leaves you on a cliffhanger but doesn't follow up with another installment
A great horror graphic novel.
It's a brilliant horror based storyline with a great twist on tradition witches (wytches). The artwork is dark enough to really add power to the story it accompanies.
Unfortunately though, the story leaves you on a cliffhanger which I would have loved if I knew there were going to be another installment to follow up on it.
Still, it's a great read and certainly one to add to the collection if you're a horror fan.

I didn't know anything about this series beyond the TV show before I got into it. I certainly hadn't read any reviews on this last volume before reading it either, otherwise, I would have been more prepared for the chaos and confusion. It never crossed my mind that a graphic novel could be canceled just like a tv show, but apparently, that's what happened here and explains a lot.

As I said after reading the first volume, other than the resemblance to Gwen, the TV series is so loosely based on the graphic novel that they really are two different stories. I grew used to the campy, out there-ness (I know it's not a word, but just go with it) filled with just about every supernatural creature Bella Lugosi has ever portrayed. But the way this ended was over the top and felt rushed.

The worst part was the way one of the issues was drawn in a completely different style. It was the artwork that kept me reading past the first volume. That and my natural compulsion to see stories through to the end, unless they are just THAT bad that I can't stomach it. But the overly cartoonish images felt off. Think Teen Titans and Teen Titans Go being crammed together in the same volume. It's just not the same.

If you're looking for a light read and don't care to get too invested in the characters, then this is the series for you.
