review:
'Fissure' by Tim Daniel with art by Patricio Delpeche is a clever horror concept that illustrates a town and how it is divided. Sort of.

El Sueno, Texas, is close to the border. It's population has a good mix of people. There is also a nearby newly finished border wall. That doesn't stop Hark Wright from seeing his pregnant girlfriend Avery Lee Olmos. What might stop them is the giant fissure running down the middle of the street, and the weird monsters that live inside of it. While townfolk are strangely called to jump in, Hark is saved from doing the same by Avery. Together they have to get out and maybe save the town.

I liked the concept a bit more than the execution, but I still liked this story. I think I know what the writer was attempting and it got close in my mind. Perhaps in any subsequent story, it will come together a bit better. I did like Patricio Delpeche's art though, and it fit the creepty aspects of the story pretty well.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Vault Comics, Diamond Book Distributors, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
