5. Nailbiter
My favorite horror comic of all time.
This beautiful story by Joshua Williamson and Mike Henderson just wrapped up this week, although my store got shorted, so I haven’t read it yet…No spoilers, plz. It’s horrific in the way only the best slasher flicks are.
Welcome to the town of Buckaroo, Oregon, a town that has, inexplicably, birthed sixteen of the world’s most fearsome serial killers. Detective Carroll reports that he’s figured out why this is. When he disappears, the troubled Agent Finch goes in to find him, alongside Sheriff Crane and the recently acquitted Buckaroo Killer Number Sixteen, the enigmatic but charming Edward Charles Warren, aka The Nailbiter.
What ensues is a mystery that twists and turns throughout the darker corners of America, with some wonderful long-term plotting and some mind-blowing standalone one-shot issues. Now that it’s over, go ahead and binge this one, you will not regret it. This was, month to month, one of my favorite books on the stand, bar none.
