_Locke and Key_ is one of my favorite graphic novel series. Joe Hill really is following in his father's foot steps.
His novels are really good too! Read _NOS4A2_ earlier this year (really liked it), and currently reading _The Fireman_ which is pretty great so far.
@@ImpressionBlendcheck out Strange Weather!!!!!
You might like Junji Ito
Yeah Uzumaki and tomie was his best manga. :D
@@ecscslevi don't forget about the enigma of amegara fault
Was my first thought seeing the thumbnail lol Uzumaki is a great way to get your subconscious mind stirring with disturbing images. Especially once you've taken psychedelics. I had become a fractal spiral at the peak of my first LSD experience, them stumbled upon this with one of the friends I tripped with.
@@ecscslevi It wasn't very scary tho .... omg spirals AHHHH ... heh ...
Nice! I hope you consider doing more GN must reads. I've watched Locke and Key and had no idea it was a GN series; thanks for sharing this, I'm going to pick this up to read.
Thanks for sharing!!! I really like how you presented each book and how you elaborated on each without spoiling!!! Also, since i am getting these for Christmas, could you do a series review on American Vampire?? Like, a spoilers review on each one?? If you could, that would be amazing and would make my day!!!! 😎
You are so well spoken.loved this video,I need to get my hands on some of them.
+Ashley Humphrey Thank you!
Locke&Key sounds awesome! I'm definitely a newbie to the horror comics scene so I'll have to check it out. I like how you show like a sneak preview of it with the pages too, your videos are just so well put together and edited so nicely, I love watching them :)
+Frumious Thank you, I'm glad you liked the video :) Good luck with Locke & Key - I hope you love it!
i am wanting to get into comics right now, and horror is one of my favorite things ever. i am so anxious to try a couple of these out! thanks so much for the detailed recommendations

Please, post some more Tops/Recommendations like this one! I loved it.
Definitely helped me to choose what to read next. I'm going to try American Vampire. Btw, I really like the idea of a candle close to the book when you are showing the pictures.
+Pliyo Senpai Have fun with _American Vampire_! I hope you love it as much as I do :)
There’s still Lock and Key stories coming out 6 years later. Just picked one up on Wednesday at my local comic shop.
You made all of these sounds so amazing. I've only heard of Locke and Key, and Wytches. I'm in a weird place with graphic novels where I just haven't been enjoying the format. I'd like to try all of these out since you made them sound so appealing, but I'm partly afraid that I'm too easily creeped out for some of them!
+Between Chapters They're definitely all within the horror genre, so the creep factor is real. The difficult thing about horror is that we all get creeped out by different things, so it's kind of hard to predict what's going to have the biggest effect. What are things that you're totally NOT ok with? Or can deal with?

Harrow County is an absolutely brilliant, and beautiful, comic.
Sorry to be so off topic but does someone know of a method to log back into an Instagram account..?
I stupidly forgot my password. I would love any help you can offer me
@Cason Randy instablaster :)
@Joel Kasen thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Joel Kasen It did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thank you so much, you saved my account :D
@Cason Randy Glad I could help xD
I enjoyed Revival! I've only read the first issue but will definitely reading the other ones soon. I've been wanting to check out Nailbiter, it sounds sooo good!
+starian72 It's a lot of fun :) Let me know what you think if you decide to check it out
Yea so, I've read all these and you're analysis of all of them is spot on. I love all these series and honestly, I have a hard to finding series that are similar. Which is weird, because comic book readers love the horror genre, but it's so difficult to get right. One that I need to get my hands on is 30 Days of Night, which has the same artist as Ten Grand (one of my absolute favorite comic series, which you ALSO need to read). It's supposed to be super creepy and the obviously the art is going to be amazing. I already told you this, but you should check out Swamp Thing and Severed (both written by Scott Snyder).
+Lindsay Weimer It's so strange that good horror comics are hard to find! You would think this would be a popular thing, and there would be a lot to pick from, but apparently not. I need 30 Days of Night as well - I've heard a lot of good things. And ALL the things by Scott Snyder, of course :)
Just started reading Nail biter and am now halfway through vol. 1. So far I am really intrigued! The horror that is told in it is right up my alley.
I'm glad you're enjoying it :)
All good selections. i'd like to recommend Rachel Rising and the Strain
Thank you so much for your recommendations!!! I shall check them out!!! 🙂 I'm excited to get buying and reading them!!
Thanks for watching! I hope you enjoy :)
You got me with Locke & Key! I'm going to recomment it to my boyfriend, he is also a HUGE fan do Lovecraft!
And well, I'm going to write down Witches and Nailbiter. Love the Nailbiter cover!
I hope you guys enjoy! Let me know what you think!
Interesting picks. A Snyder horror comic I really enjoy is Severed. Good companion piece to Wytches imo. It's a period piece set in 1912 with beautiful painted art. The villain, The Salesman, has a penchant for eating little kids haha. My favorite horror comic is Rachel Rising by the great Terry Moore. Lush black and white artwork. A woman wakes up from the dead and the mystery ensues about how exactly she died. A good witch story as well. Happy reading!
+Andres Avila Those sound really interesting! Thank you for the recommendations!
I will definitely check out some of your suggestions. Love horror comics.
I wanted to like American Vampire more than I did. It's definitely better than your average vampire fiction.
Some suggestions:
Afterlife with Archie
Rachel rising
Sweet Tooth
Black Hole
+Rob Robberson Thank you for the suggestions!
UGH NAILBITER IS MY FAVORITE COMIC SERIES I'VE EVER READ!! Warren is my favorite character. I've read all of the books and not really happy about the ending. :( IT was really really good dho! MY FAV
My list is Harrow County, Nailbiter, Revival, Outcast, Wytches, I Hate Fairlyland, preacher (of course) I’ve really gotten into anything Cullen Bunn. He never lets me down
Hi Mariana, I loved this video. I definitely agree with you, American Vampire is a great series, you should check out the first volume of The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, it is a great reimagining of Sabrina Spellman from the Archie comics and it’s actually a really good horror comic book.
These are great. Perhaps I'll get a chance to check 'em out this month.
You're a real treat as always :)
+Kakki82 Thank you! Let me know which ones you check out :)
+Impression Blend Definitley will do, welcome :)
Never seen rural noir? Fargo is rural noir. But the pinnacle of rural noir in film is Night of the Hunter which is an incredibly frightening and beautiful film
I've been away from the comic book scene for a few years now, but I'm looking to get back into them, especially horror comic books. Anyone who starts off by recommending Locke and Key, my favorite series, has my attention. So, I've read all of these except for the last two. Anyway, great review and I'm off to check out Wythces and Nailbiter.
+screamwall Thank you! I hope you enjoy those two :)
Watched this video some time ago and... THANK YOU for recommending Nailbiter!! Haven't finished Locke & Key. Also great. The others are on standby. I'll get to them as soon as I finish GYO by Junji Ito which looks absolutely creepy and awesome. Congrats on your vids and channel (don't know why it's got only 15k subs). Anyway, just wanted to say thank you and say hi.
You're very welcome! And thank you :)

1930s Las Vegas?
I wonder what that would even look like. There was just... nothing.
No giant Casinos, no Night Clubs, nothing
Odd place to set up a Vampire story, but I think that might be why I now really want to read American Vampire!
Alsoo looooove Nailbiter.
Vertigo comics I Zombie, I Vampire, Bedlam, Alan Moore Swamp Thing, New 52 Animal Man, Fialkov's Echoes also love them.
+Monty Datta I was actually just looking at Bedlam the other day - looks freaking creepy! Thanks for the suggestions :)
Just bought Wytches. Can't wait.
NICE I love horror anything really but I'm new to comics and I'm going to pick up at least 3 of these titles!
Nailbiter sounds awesomely creepy! I am going to be checking that out after Locke & Key. Thanks for your comic recommendations, I was looking to get into some new series.
+Adelle Drover Thanks for watching :) Let me know what you think of Locke & Key and Nailbiter when you get to them - I hope you enjoy!
Okay, so this video is what brought me to your channel and got me to subscribe. Nailbiter and Revival were my two favorite books of recent times and they both finished up in the last few months (unfortunately). I'd love to hear your thoughts on how those two ended if you've read through them. I thought they were a little rushed at the end :(
I haven't checked out American Vampire yet so I'll put that on my wishlist on Comixology. Thanks for the recommendation.
I haven't finished Revival yet, but I do agree with you about _Nailbiter_ -that ending wasn't as satisfying as I hoped it would be.
You should check out Alan Moore's Swamp Thing, specifically The Curse and Murder of Crows. Also, any Garth Ennis Hellblazer. Friends have recommended Preacher, but I still haven't read.
+Byron Williams I'll check those out! Thank you for the suggestions :)
No, I've not read any of those comics, but some sound pretty good and sound like they might make an interesting TV series or limited series, if they'd capture them right. I'm sort of tired of super hero comics, and the TV series just doesn't cut the mustard for me either (Green Arrow, The Flash, etc.). Since I don't read many comics these days, I can't recommend much there, but I am reading a novel, Swan Song, which is a post apocalypse type novel with so far, not too many characters, but has been a great read. The author, McCammon, has a pretty easy to read style.
I definitely prefer these non-mainstream comics to superheroes - the art is more interesting, the stories and characters are better. Thank you for the book suggestion!
Impression Blend Preacher has done these non-superhero comic books well on the small screen. I loved the first season on AMC and they've done the tweaks within the story justice to tie it up better than the presentation was made on paper.
Culture Fan
watch the New Muntants movie is horror comic book
Great video. Glad to see someone else that likes horror comics. Do you know of many more than these? I also liked "The Wake" a lot by Snyder. Super good.
+weglarz I still need to check out _The Wake_. Heard that the ending wasn't great, but I'm still interested. Have you read _Severed_, also by Snyder? It's a pretty interesting horror story.
Thank you thank you thank you for introducing me to the awesomeness of these horror comics! I've read American Vampire, Revival and Nailbiter since watching this. Love them all. Am forever in your debt. I feel like I've found my comic niche. They are sooo amazing. Also starting Hack/Slash which I recently discovered by Tim Seeley as well.

I've got Wytches' Nailbiter and Revival in my collection, but yet to read. Looking forward to it though.
+Dallas Washington Let me know what you think when you get to them! I hope you enjoy :)
I will do, thank you.
I love comic book of horror series like a goosebumps and telas from the crypt
Scott Snyder's on a roll! You should check out his other mini series "Severed" for some more period-piece horror. Also, "Crawl to Me" by Alan Robert is fantastic too.
+ArcLi7e I keep hearing about Severed - I clearly need to look into this.
Thank you for the recommendations :)
Please read Hack/Slash. I don't want to give a premise because that spoils the series. It's very different from other horror comics I have read and it shows. The art style is great, the plot is concrete and the character development is very satisfying. I hope that this suggestion helps. Thank you for your recommendations.
Yay horror graphic novels. I loved the Locke and Key series and American Vampire is amazing. I've read 1 & 2 and I own 3 need to pick it up soon. I added Revival to my TBR. Wytches was different. I can't wait to pick up volume 2. That little girl has the biggest potty mouth. Added Nailbiter to my TBR as well :D Have you read V Wars by Jonathan Mayberry? I own like 6 single issues that I won from goodreads and I need to finally pick it up.
Haven't read _V-Wars_, but I'll add it to my TBR! Thanks for the recommendation!
I don't why you said American Vampire would be a hard sell - I think it sounds AWESOME! The concept of each volume taking place in a separate location and time period reminds me a bit of American Horror Story. I think I'll check this series out. :)
+Slice of Mike The thing with American Vampire is the combination of art and gritty story - I can imagine it being a little too much for some people. Check it out, let me know what you think! :)
Excellent reviews/recommendations. You've added a subscriber.
Thank you! Welcome to my channel :)
nailbiter is so cool they should make a tv show of it
Love horror comics, thanks for the recommendations. Your eyes are magical. 😊
1. Locke & Key
2. Revival
3. American Vampire
4. Wytches
5. Nailbiter
Wytches launched a new short story that is awesome as the 1st volume
My favorite is Harrow County
Mark Sims me tooooo
Outcast by Kirkman and Azaceta is a really good one.
Read Spread from Image, it's so fun
I loved wytches! I will definitely check out Revival. Thanx for the recommendation. I subscribed :)
Enjoy! And welcome to my channel :)
have you read colder?, that's def my favorite horror comic, together with l&k and severed, my favorite ongoing horror comic are harrow county
I have not, but I'm always looking for more horror comics! Thank you for the recommendations!
"tired of the modern boyfriend type vampire" hahahaha very cool
Fenrir of ink the thing I was saying when she says that I went like hehe hint hint
Late to this party, but really liked this vid -- subbed and looking forward to more :-)
And then I see your videos about The Crow and horror comics... subscribed! :)
+Rob Robberson Aww, thank you :) Welcome to my channel!
Just started Revival. It's great. Also Afterlife With Archie is fantastic.
i am going to take a look at nailbitter and wytchers cuz they have a good rate at all. but i would take the walking dead in number 3 (american vampire).twd is my recommonded comic for those who wanna drama and horror in one comic . could you make a video for,, best fantasy comics ,,? thx
wow.. the first 3 comments are right on point! junji ito, awesome. crossed, awesome. and wytches, awesome. also I'm a huge fan of lock and key, very lovecraftian. also also, she has really cool looking green eyes, very big trouble in little china you know what I'm sayin?
read pandemonium by Christopher bec humanoids publishing and whispers in the wall by Munoz both humanoids publishing
I wasn't sure about American Vampire since it seemed very on the nose, but you've convinced me. Sounds like Masquerade with their vampire variation. I also loved the graphic novel version of George R.R.Martin's Fevre Dream, which has some similarities with American Vampire.
+Ross Bauer Do you mean the RPG? The vampire species thing definitely made me think about that too.
+Impression Blend Yeah that's the one :) I've been meaning to get my hands on Locke and Key for the longest time, maybe as a Christmas prezzie. Also, on a vampiric note, if you haven't seen What We Do In The Shadows, I highly recommend it :p
Ross Bauer Werewolves, not swearwolves ;)
***** Lol Ikr, such a kooky, spot on mockumentary :p
Nice video ! I’m a art illustrator and music composer who loves horror movies and comics in general. I enjoyed watching this. Keep it up. Take care 😁
Revival comic is a great comic to read you guys might wanna give it a shot!!
Just picked up the first three American Vampire comics can't wait to read em.
+Richard King I hope you like them as much as I do!
+Impression Blend just made it to the third one I love it so much I love the darkness of the series so far, the art style and writing are amazing.
Richard King Yay! I'm so glad you're loving it :)
I don't know if your looking for a horror comic that follows under the line of chaos but if you are crossed is but if you are crossed is definitely the book to read .
I love these recommendations, they are great, I'm glad you enjoy comics/graphic novels as well :) , my personal favourites are "Girls", and "Morning Glories" they are both well written and the art style really plays into the way the stories use horror elements, if you haven't read them before, consider checking them out :D
+Robert Almonte Thanks for the recommendations! Haven't heard of these, what are they like?
+Impression Blend I haven't finished "Girls" yet, but from what I've read so far it seems more along the lines of a psychological horror, morning glories has been described as the "Lost" of graphic novels and it's superb, from the character building to the complex storylines and creepy settings :D I seriously recommend them
I recommend I, Vampire
I seriously need to become an Amazon Prime member...
So much interesting things to ponder...
+John Lewis Amazon Prime is dangerous! I spend way too much money because of it, and the two day shipping has spoiled me.
I saw the first 3 episodes of "Scream Queens" and I was not scared once. Either I'm the man without fear or they forgot the horror in horror comedy. Emma Roberts was great though. As a Neil Gaiman fan, I suggest you read "Sandman vol 2: The Doll's House", about a convention for serial killers. In comics, Gaiman is famous for "Sandman", and this story is his breakout hit.
+Chester H I don't think Scream Queens is meant to be scary, mostly just funny in an over-the-top kind of way. Though I did think it was going to be a bit more horror. Maybe they'll get to it eventually? Really looking forward to reading Sandman.
scream queens is meant to make fun of horror movies, its a comedy
American Vampire sounds so good! I'm always on the hunt for vampire stories where vampires are actually scary evil monsters
+Riley Marie 30 Days of Night
+Riley Marie Right? I'm always looking for more of those too. Let me know if you find anything else like that!
+Impression Blend one shot "Cut" is an interesting read...not particularly long story, but has a nice touch + no sparkly vamps for sure xD
and thanks for the video.
Sad that you haven't mentioned Sandman here...may be not exactly horror, but the graphic trippy part and some stories make it worth reading (and some parts are really creepy)...
And about witches:
Coffin Hill - nice art, interesting characters (flashbacks included :) ), pretty nice way to tell the story (like when the author doesn't show you all the things and gives you some bits and pieces and you have to figure out some parts yourself)
Treychik ***** Yes! Sandman rules.
I am familiar with both Lock & Key and American Vampire. Skinner Sweet is an interesting monster.
+mollytherealdeal He definitely is :)
would reading graphic novels add more skills to my conversation ability to help connect with people ? are there more skill sets I can achieve reading them ,please advise sister ...dillon
Hi and nice review btw! Have u read the outcast? If yes what do u think is better this or the revival? I just got the wytches and i want to buy one of those two but i dont know whitch one is the best! HOpe u can ask me, tnx!!
Thank you! Haven't read _Outcast_ - I've heard mixed feedback about that series. _Revival_ is excellent though, for sure!
Ok i will order the deluxe editions of revival!! Thank u and keep up the good videos!
I've read the first two volumes of Outcast. And the whole time I was just anticipating for something big/terrible to happen, which never did. Most likely a side effect from reading Walking Dead trades the last few years. Still, I plan on continuing with Volume 3. And watching the show at some point.
have you read severed by Scott Snyder? I know this is an old video, but that is one of my favorite creepy comics. :)
Yup! I'm a big fan of his work, so had to check out _Severed_ which was definitely creepy. Still need to read _The Wake_ though...
That' means I'm not old enough to read these but I love these
Please I'd like to know about what u think about Y The Last Man and speaking of Scott Snyder which I'm a huge fan he's got a run on Batman and he did the comic The Black Mirror which is pretty damn good which was also illustrated by Jock I'd definitely recommend it since your a Batman girl
re: Tim Seeley -- have you read his Hack/Slash?
I have been catching up on The Goon by Eric Powell, since Dark Horse started releasing the oversized Library Editions. It can only be described as a grab bag of horror/supernatural elements with a tongue in cheek/knife in the eye brand of humor and violence throughout. Definitely, Mature Readers only.
Sounds like my kind of comic :)
Must get these.
You ever read Batman Black Mirror it’s by Scott Snyder and Jock same basically this story comic was a prelude to Wytches fun fact
outcast
Word
I second this
DC Vertigo's The Dreaming Series is interesting
Witch doctor! Nailbiter both are great
can you do the Jeffery Dhamer comic by Hart Fisher?
is there a volume 2 for the wytches ?
Nope. Maybe someday but not currently.
Believe it or not, thanks to this video I bougt "Wytches". I guess the authors owe you one :-) And I really enjoyed this series. Thanks!
Swamp thing by Alan Moore has a few creepy issues
ludens 6
also hellblazer
I read American vampire and wytches after watching this video, and I was impressed 👍❤️
Yay! I'm glad you liked them :)
Well I got two Locke and key volumes I'll check all those others out
+GAMERSTARX4 I hope you enjoy :)
Recently bought the Locke and Key Complete Collection Slipcase(Haven’t red it yet)
Have all of American Vampire(but haven’t read it yet)
Have Revival Vol 1(haven’t read it yet)
Wytches Vol 1 (Have it and read it an it’s amazing (there’s a new Wytches story in the IMAGE! 30th Anniversary Issues)
Nailbiter I have the first 3 Vols (haven’t read any yet but plan to this spooky season. Written by Joshua Williamson and his current comic called DARK RIDE is really really awesome. Check it out!!!
Yo your eyes are pretty! They are a different color, that’s fudging cool!
Just ordered American Vampire based on your recommendation. I can't wait for a story that brings vampires back to horror.
+chase sprague I really hope you love it!
I'm sure I will, you haven't led me astray yet.
thank you for turning me on to american vampire! I absolutely fucking love it! without a doubt my new addiction.
Locke and Key is a masterpiece.
Junji ito of course
Wytches was an amazing suggestion, and now Plan B is making it into a movie! Super excited about that. Also if you guys are wondering what Plan B is, its Brad Pitts production company
I really hope they do justice to the comic. I think it has the potential to be a great horror film!
Have to say Crossed is the wildest read that I encountered.
I WANT TO READ THEM ALL!
+Christian Carvajal DO IT!
Locke and Key one of my favorite of all time.
+Monty Datta It's so good!
totally not hitting on you but your eyes are mesmorizing girl lol
I've been looking for new horror comics and I'm going to have to check Locke and Key, Revival, and Nailbiter out . Maybe I'll review a few thanks for the ideas
+WestAtBest Thank you ;) I hope you enjoy these comics! Let me know what you think, if you end up checking them out.
