Dark Spaces: Wildfire
Writer: Scott Snyder
Artist: Hayden Sherman
Publication: IDW Publishing - May 9, 2023
Recommended for readers of crime thrillers and horror.
Warnings: language, violence
The combination of Scott Snyder and Hayden Sherman in this first entry in the Dark Spaces crime/horror series is fantastic, perhaps better than the Dungeon follow-up. Female inmates working as firefighters with a variety of trauma pushed together to survive. Amazing coloring and design from the artist that takes us on a deeper dive into splinters of backstory mashed with present-day struggles. A must-read for fans of graphic novels that grapple with trauma, crime, and horror. Especially recommended for how the writer and artist work together to present complicated characters.
