Scott Snyder's Wytches

So this week I read Scott Snyder’s Wytches. The story is about a small town and a girl that was bullied by another girl that tried to force her to strip in the middle of the woods. And randomly eaten and absorbed by trees after that Sailor was suspected of having to something with the girls disappearance.. And the twist that happens at the end of the story. Where the town is in league with these grotesque witches that demand a pledge of some sort for the town o live in peace. Sailor is the main protagonist and the main focus of these witches. Due to her own mother offering the girl that everyone suspects she killed as a offering. Well after reading this I was pleasantly surprised I was not shown the pointy nosed hag or the sexy witch that is in a special club. I was shown monsters witches that no one understood. The reason of their existence is lead to them losing their minds and giving in to them offering up anyone so they may live in peace or received their numbers boons that they offer their followers. Scott Snyder was definitely offering a different view since the first opening is someone trapped in a tree. This whole comic is dark and terrifying from a boy not helping his mother escape from a tree saying pledged is pledged. Definitely felt like it was opening more like a movie in terms of offering relationship connections between characters. All in all this story definitely bled gothic horror and was more true to Lovecraftian horror than anything else. Which made it unique reading experience.
