Severed #7 of 7
Image Comics
Snyder, Tuft & Futaki
Snyder's horror series wraps up with an over-sized, but standard priced issue. The book puts in an x-factor when the major conflict occurs between Jack and the deranged, child-eating, killer. It's a very good ending to a very good series. I'm not sure this book packed nearly the same level of terror punch as previous issues but it did have a highly intense ending. I liked this series and I think any fan of the horror genre would enjoy it as well.

Severed has been as promised in that it is a slow-burn type of story. Last issue we had some truly horrible things occur and Snyder follows that up with an issue that slows down the pace again. However, it works really well because on every single page I am expecting something awful to happen. Snyder has managed to make a suspenseful, horror story come to life in a comic book, which is not something I expected when this series started. Taken as an individual issue it probably isn't all that effective, but coming off the previous issue (or previous four issues) the story comes across as terror for the reader. This is a very good issue that toys with the emotions and senses of the reader like no other book I have read.

Scott Snyder and company launch their latest foray into the genre of horror with Severed. The opening issue doesn't necessarily deliver much in the way of fright but it does present a few interesting characters and scenarios that may come back as something bigger in subsequent issues. The question is whether or not the opener has enough in it to keep you coming back and I can answer that with a definitive "depends". The art in the story is very good and sets a perfect tone for the story. Overall, this is a good book and an entertaining read.
