review 1: My favorite graphic novel is the macabre, creepy graphic novel. I was turned onto this series loosely based on the old House of Mystery comic books of the past. This is the second in the series! There is one story encompassing the whole series, that of the people populating a ...

review 1: 3.5 stars! I am not quite sure what is going on with the main story just yet so I need to go pick up the second volume to see if it will clear things up a bit for me.I really like the separate stories used as currency in the bar. The stories are just as unique and fun as the indi...

review 1: This volume actually stands alone to a reasonable extent. As the title suggests, Cain and Fig have come to an agreement regarding the House. Sturges has a good handle on Cain's character and he often steals the scene without even trying. The back humor, which has always been p...

review 1: Sturges has taken an interesting approach to the traditional horror anthology comic. In the classic House of Mystery comics, the house was merely a convenient framing device for the various stories. As with all anthologies, the quality was spotty--some stories good and memorabl...

review 1: The venerable anthology series got a gruesome grown-up reboot in 2008. This collection uses a wraparound tale that tells the story of the house itself, a place where visitors from many worlds and era can meet to have a drink, share stories, and perhaps be doomed. To pay their t...
