So: Anyone get this. Personally I'd buy anything with Steve Parkhouse's superb art (key ref: Big Dave, Bojeffries Saga)but I was nicely surprised by it. Casey's a patchy writer, but of all this weeks releases this was probably the freshest. Kinda reminded me of Crisis or Revolver. It wasn't subtle, but it had the desired effect of making me want to see how the plot develops, and the last page reveal of the 'hero' was a doozy. Curiously, although it is set in an American suburb, it had quite a neutral feel - it could just as easily be some forsaken London orbital town - which was a bonus for me. Anyway I liked it, definitely an idiosyncratic addition to the current fad for horror comics. Th-th-th-thoughts?

I was planning to get this only because of Parkhouse and I've never really liked Casey so I'm not sure if I really should bother.
