Woah.
What an incredible issue.
If you’re on the fence about picking up this title, give this first one a shot, I guarantee you’ll be back for #2.
The story follows two Secret Service partners as they take on the ‘Fear Case’, a bizzare box that has appeared throughout different points in time at horrific and violent sites. Matt Kindt has developed some amazing characters in Agents Winters and Mitchum, they feel so real. Readers learn a sense of their relationship through their sense of humor, the gifts they get each other for their anniversary, and how they spring into action. There’s a deep sense of trust between them and I cannot wait to read more of their banter. There are clues strewn throughout as to what might be in the ‘Fear Case’, but they raise so many more questions and create an atmosphere of tension.
Tyler and Hilary Jenkins are beyond fantastic; their approach to framing the history of the ‘Fear Case’ is so imaginative. The art of the box’s history guides the reader by blending scenes into one another. The charcoal-like shading is gorgeous and creates some very dramatic scenes and framing. Its grittiness is almost static-like at points and helps to create an uneasiness to the story.
Fear Case shot out of the gate with an incredible first issue that is sure to have you hooked by the final panel. Definitely pick up this book if you’re a horror or crime fan.
