Comic Book Review: Wytches #3

Wytches #3
story: Scott Snyder
art: Jock
colors: Matt Hollingsworth
letters: Clem Robins
editor: David Brothers
publisher: Image Comics

Disturbing and scary but yet engaging, that's how to describe Wytches #3. This time, writer Scott Snyder shows readers that real-life fears are even scarier than any supernatural events, as the parents of Sailor, the protagonist of the story turns so much emotional in search of their daughter who was lost in the woods. As parents, you always wanted your child to be safe from any types predicaments, and when something bad happens to your child, you're filled with emotions and fears and that's how Snyder wants the readers to feel.And also by that, the readers are engaged to the story wanting to grab the next issue.


Sailor's dad Charles who in the first two issues seems to be a superdad who always comforts her daughter everything's gonna be alright, in this issue showed his vulnerability that after all, he's just a human, a parent who wants nothing more but the safety of her one and only child.

In Wytches #3, the lead character Sailor was out most of the time having lost in the woods, but her character wasn't totally out after her diary were discovered  containing nightmarish things she's been going through and if you wonder how she would be in the next issue, based on how everything concludes in issue #3, it doesn't look good.

Wytches is one hell of a comic book to get hooked. It's actually based on it's creator Scott Snyder's experience as a kid, when he and his friend used to go to the woods and play witch hunting, that's where he gets the idea of witches living in the trees and their gonna give you everything you want provided you would pledged someone as their food. The story is really scary with the addition of colorist Matt Hollingsworth's technique using a splatter of inks in the background of each pages giving every scene a more creepy and haunting look as if it's like you're viewing a nightmare. If you're a comic book fanatic and still haven't read Wytches, grab the next issue, it's still not too late to catch up.
