3. Wytches

I was born and raised in Los Angeles, but as long as I can remember, my family and I have spent our Christmases in a small town in Connecticut. I’ve spent a lot of time walking out in the late hours, stepping through the woods of the northeast. And as such, Wytches scares the absolute s**t out of me.

Seriously, those woods are nightmares. Too quiet, something eerie around every corner. I’ve found weird shrines left abandoned in the woods before.

So this story of Sailor Rook and her experiences with the forest-dwelling Wytches of New Hampshire? That gets me right in my heart. Wytches is all about atmosphere, half brought on by Scott Snyder’s terrific writing and half by Jock’s haunting artwork. It creates this ethereal tone that leaves you constantly on edge. The Wytches themselves are unforgettable creatures, borne out of the very woods they haunt.

Sadly, the series is currently only six issues, but if Snyder and Jock ever want to make more, they pretty much already have my money.
