Rachel Rising

review 1: These issues up the ante for the town of Manson and its inhabitants. There are a bunch of strange things happening around town, and no one seems to know what it all means. Rachel gains a friend in death and we're introduced to two of the major players in the storyline. The reader isn't really sure who to root for in that matter because neither seems to have the best interests of the town, it's inhabitants, or the world in mind.Things for Rachel and her crew rapidly unravel and they're left trying to recuperate, and figure out exactly what's going on. Everything you need in a horror comic is here; the living dead, an evil body-switching entity, a creepy little girl and even creepier side characters. We also learn some of the history of the town of Manson, although the story... moreteller there is somewhat unreliable, so can we even trust her?All of this unfolds on the pages with Terry Moore's familiar style. Great dialogue and clean art makes sure that you as the reader know exactly what's going on. Moore's stories are almost always this way, his method tells the story with very little wasted, Rachel Rising is merely continuing that tradition. This cycle of books ends with a glimmer of hope for the good guys, and the reader, although the things set in motion against them seem nigh insurmountable.Conclusion: Pick up these issues, either singly, or collected in the trade paperback entitled Fear No Malus. The story being told here is only getting more interesting, and if you don't have the next issue you'll be left jonesing to find out what happens next. This story is turning into what could be a staple of horror comics.Rating: 9/10
review 2: Maybe I needed something a bit less serious? Of course, this is also about evil and suffering, but more fantastically metaphorical.This second volume reveals what we should have been suspecting: whatever supernatural spookiness that is going on is someone wanting revenge for that massive witch hunt 300 years ago. Of course, it's a little bit more complicated that that.It turns out there are two main players at work: one who wants to destroy the town of Manson, and one who wants to use Manson to destroy the entire world.And now Rachel is on the case. I need to order the next installation! less
