The series follows the Rook family, in particular their daughter Sailor. The rights for a film adaptation have been purchased by Plan B Entertainment, but it has since evolved into an animated series for Amazon Prime Video. The first issue of the series released on 8 October 2014 and is currently published through Image Comics. I loved this twist on the character and found it incredibly interesting that they were only given power by the humans.Īnd fourth, I loved the mix of seriousness and action and lighthearted humor.Wytches is a six-issue comic book limited series written by Scott Snyder and illustrated by Jock.
These wytches are unusually tall, demonically ugly, and savage. They weren’t the witches that we all know with the big hats, pointy noses, and pet cats. Third, I enjoyed the deeper elements of the story because they were so thought provoking! For example, one element were the wytches. In another, Sailor is climbing a ferris wheel and saying, “just a little higher” and then next she’s climbing out from an underground burrow saying the same thing. And the transitions between scenes and timelines were awesome! For example in one panel, Sailor is banging on the inside of a plastic playground tube, and in the next, the father is banging his palm against a wall. Second, the storyline was so interesting and I loved the main plot! I really enjoyed how well the past and present merged together to tell the full story. These spatters are painted by hand with watercolor, liquid acrylic, and other paints on paper then they are scanned and added to the scene with Photoshop. After that, two sets of spatters are added manually. Next, “zip and paper” is added which gives it the textured look. Oh! In the very back of the book, the process is explained! It starts with Jock’s inks, then the flat colors are added and basic paint is done through photoshop. There’s also a spattering of color over the pages, which really adds to the overall look and feel in a wonderful way.
And I really enjoyed that there was an overall texture, like each page was printed on a canvas, because you can see tiny squares. I absolutely loved the style of both the inking and the colors. This is yet another situation where I don’t want to give too much away, so I will stay high-level.įirst of all, I thought the artwork was just incredible. Oh my goodness… This is definitely in my top five favorite graphic novels list! I LOVED it! I really enjoyed the super creepy tone! Gosh, what a great read for October! My Thoughts on Wytches Vol 1 by Scott Snyder (Writer), Jock (Illustrator), Matt Hollingsworth (Colorist), Clem Robins (Letterer) If you’re into darker, spooky, graphic novels, you’re going to love this! Wytches Volume 1 is an absolutely stunning and wonderfully written graphic novel about a family and the darkness that won’t leave them alone.
