Perfectly timed to the season, The Autumnal weaves an amazing tale about a mother and daughter and their sudden move from Chicago to a rural setting.
It may sound like a setup for a Hallmark movie, but instead it's a personal story with hints of darkness, of sadness - and horror.
Kat Somerville has led a rough and rowdy life, and she struggles to raise her misbehaving young daughter Sybil. When Kat is told that her long-estranged mother has died, she travels home to the rural town named Comfort Notch.
There she finds eccentric residents, a possible new home, and a haunting mystery.
It's a sharp and clever story by Daniel Kraus with stunning, evocative art by Chris Shehan and color art by Jason Wordie.
The first issue has this series off to a strong start - recommended!
Grade: A-
