Description

Finally in print – a genre-defying post-YA masterpiece
from two of comics most acclaimed talents!
A young
adult detective hero finally grows up, in the first volume of this new hit
series from award-winning creators Ed Brubaker (Reckless, PULP, Kill or be
Killed) and Marcos Martin (The Private Eye, Daredevil), with brilliant colors by
Muntsa Vicente.
Friday Fitzhugh spent her childhood
solving crimes and digging up occult secrets with her best friend Lancelot
Jones, the smartest boy in the world. But that was the past, now she’s in
college, starting a new life on her own. Except when Friday comes home for the
holidays, she’s immediately pulled back into Lance’s orbit and finds that

town…

This is literally the Christmas
vacation from Hell and neither of them may survive to see the New
Year.

Publisher Review

"Brubaker's (Cruel Summer) slow-burn pacing intensifies the story's mysteries while capably introducing the cast and town. Martin's (Barrier) French-esque, wiry line art resolves into sweeping, endless forests and all-encompassing, imposing spirits as colorist Muntsa Vicente creates striking nighttime scenes with bold, dramatic lighting. Told over three chapters, this atmospheric first installment sets up compelling sequels, with a sucker punch ending that demands follow-up." -Publishers Weekly
