Red Mother #1
Just another day for Daisy and Luke takes a decidedly darker turn when they're attacked walking home. It's an encounter that leaves Daisy's life irrevocably changed. Her boyfriend's missing, she doesn't know if he's alive or dead and on top of that, the police seem to think he's responsible.
Most of the issue's Daisy dealing with the aftermath. Taking meds, getting her eye socket checked, lashing out in anger. Though her best friend reaches out, she isn't ready to talk, or fully open up.
Things get really interesting - and sinister - when it comes to her eye. These moments only happen intermittently, but when they do, they're very welcome and, especially at the end, indicate darker days to come.
There's very little to criticize about the issue. Most of the dialogue fits very well. There's only one piece I think could've been improved, which was when the police were interviewing Daisy Instead of rushing to the point, he takes his time, which I really appreciate, especially in horror.
Some of the art works particularly well, especially in the opening and closing scenes, which're especially memorable. Haun + Luckert do a great job of showing Daisy's turmoil, both through art and dialogue. Overall, it's a incredibly good debut and well worth a read.
