Lamentation
From the mind's eye of master storyteller Cullen Bunn ( The Sixth Gun, Basilisk ) and rising star Arjuna Susini ( Made Men ) comes a darkly glamorous tale of bone-splintering terror at the intersection of shadow and light . . . dream and nightmare . . . life, and the grim specter of Death himself.
After weeks of grueling rehearsals, a new production is set to begin at the famed Requiem Razide's Lament , three acts of gothic horror set inside a haunted castle with a story that some say is more than mere fantasy. Under the stern rule of a dedicated but temperamental director, the script seems to be ever-changing, and, more mysterious still, our lead actress has found herself cast in the role of a lifetime without so much as an audition. Her opening night is coming fast–and, with it, a barrage of razors in the night that will terrorize audiences and actors alike. There is no exit, no escape, and when the curtain finally rises, Razide himself will take center stage to cross the threshold into the unholy darkness that lies just beyond . . .

Anyone who knows me knows I love my comics. This one was 148 pages. I really liked this but quite a few times I had to back and read to get the plot. It was slightly difficult to follow (hence the 4 stars) but overall I really enjoyed this book! I LOVE the artwork as well!
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for allowing me to arc read this book!

Thank you to NetGalley and Oni Press for the advanced copy.
Super excited to read new Cullen Bunn, as his series The Sixth Gun is one of my favorite stories ever. So I was especially excited to see that Lamentation was horror, since I know Bunn does creepy and scary well.
Story: 5/5
The very first page lays out the cast and the roles they play, which is also the first hint to the reader as to what this story is about. The Haunted Palace? In the Mouth of Madness? And Then There Were None? No Exit? As Bunn weaves his story, a new twist appears just as you're starting to think you know what's happening and what's about to happen. The ending especially was excellently creepy and in line with the scariest of Twilight Zone episodes... which is what this ultimately reminded me of.
Art: 2/5
A dull color palette and ugly shadows hides more of the story than it should. I think it's meant to invoke the surreal and dreamlike but I just kept finding myself confused with what I'm looking at.
Total: 3.5, rounded to 4. I wish the art was in a style something like that of J. H. Williams III or Ben Templesmith. Or at least a style that can better capture the liminal horror of the Requiem Theatre.

I just wanted to quickly skim over the first few pages and ended up reading the whole thing, so it definitely caught my interest right off the bat - no wonder since I'm a sucker for theater settings.
While Lamentation started off strong and intriguing, I think it simply lost steam as the story progressed. Fewer and instead more nuanced characters could have helped render the plot more emotionally engaging, and the pacing grew more rushed during the second half. On the other hand. the sets looked really nice and interesting, I loved the back and forth between the play and reality (I'm also a sucker for collapsing fiction and reality within narratives, hence my Perfect Blue profile pic) and I had a lot of fun during the first half. Since the second half grew increasingly confusing and wasn't paced as nicely, I'll give Lamentation three stars. It could've benefitted from being longer and taking a little more time developing its characters and atmosphere, but I see a lot of potential in the story.
Also, I wouldn't say the art was completely outstanding, but Arjuna Susini's style fit Lamentation's narrative REALLY well, so I appreciate the direction he took to bring the story to life.

Lamentation is the dark theatre production of your nightmares!
Not only does this graphic novel pull you in immediately, but just like the plot of this story, you won't be able to escape until you discover all of the secrets of "Razide's Lament." Cullen Bunn has quickly become a writer whose work I love! This story follows our young ingenue as she responds to an ad for an open position within a theatre group. After meeting the troupe and getting enmeshed in the production, she finds that not everything is as it seems. I felt all of the emotions of our main character as she went through all her ordeals. The fear, the confusion, the anguish - ALL OF IT. This graphic novel is seriously so good and readers are going to be hooked.
As for the ending of this story? - SUCH A GREAT ENDING. I love how this ended and how it impacted how I read the story. It made me want to immediately pick the story again from the beginning.

My first literary job, way back when I was a journalist, was a contract position for a column where I would review graphic novels and comic books. So, despite the fact most of the stuff I review now is prose, I have read an exponentially large amount of graphic novels and manga of varying qualities. As such, every once in a while I like to return to my roots, and that was definitely what I was hoping to do when I picked up Lamentation by Cullen Bunn and Arjuna Susini—unfortunately, the book itself didn’t give me much more than that.
Speaking frankly, my problem with Lamentation isn’t that it was bad. It is that it was lukewarm. There is nothing outwardly wrong with it. The art was distinctly rough and sketchy, adding to its appeal in the horror genre, though it was inconsistent in its quality. Some panels looked great, others looked like the anatomy was rushed, but not in an intentional way.
The story itself… existed, and had a decent resolution. I liked the concept of having these people trapped in a theatre, but it kind of felt like that good concept was then populated with pieces from a choose your own adventure. Everything about Lamentation was just predictable and the characters all felt a little generic. Kind of like you could have changed the setting completely and the dialogue and plot could have easily melted into any other scenario.
For me, I can’t really recommend Lamentation because honestly it’s pretty forgettable, and I can’t see myself remembering I have even read it two weeks from now.

(Full disclosure: I received a free e-ARC for review through NetGalley. Content warning for suicide. This review contains vague spoilers.)
When she stumbles into the run-down Requiem Theater and is immediately cast as the lead in the troupe's latest production, Razide's Lament, Jennifer can hardly believe her luck. It's not Broadway, but everyone has to start somewhere, right? (That'll show the 'rents!)
Her dream quickly becomes a nightmare when real life begins to mirror the fictional (?) drama playing out on the stage. Jennifer plays one of three sisters who, caught in an almost otherworldly thunderstorm, seeks refuge in a creepy old castle. Once inside, she's conscripted to take the place of Prince Razide's would-be bride, who perished shortly before she was to be married, and under suspicious circumstances at that. As the onstage Jennifer rails against her plight, thespian Jennifer tries to escape the clutches of the ominous Requiem Theater.
I wanted to like LAMENTATION so much more than I did. (Cullen Bunn, hello.) The story idea is 10/10, but the execution is just so-so. Mostly I just found the plot confusing. Take the ending, for example - if the theater was able to rewrite Prince Razide's story into something more positive (at least on its face), wouldn't this break the cycle of performances?
The artwork is really quite lovely - in a deliciously spooky way - as is the coloring. The story just didn't quite do it for me, but I seem to be in the minority here.

Jenifer is headed to an audition, and sure the building it’s being held in looks a little, abandoned. Sure, everyone seems a little too eager. No need to audition! Let’s do measurements as we rehearse, just jump right in! Yeah, something is definitely off about this production. Picking up on the weird vibes Jenifer is out of there. Except she’s not. No one is. The cast is stuck in a kind of supernatural pocket until the play can be perfected. But can it be perfected?
I had a really fun time reading this. It was giving Creepshow vibes meets gothic horror aesthetic. The illustrations by Arjuna Susini and coloring by Hilary Jenkins were gorgeous and haunting. Everything worked really well together. And that cover! Chefs kiss! Speaking of covers. I loved the cover gallery at the end of the graphic novel, really beautiful.
There is a saying that autumn is for art, it’s the perfect time to enjoy a performance. Lamentation fills that craving for fall stage play vibes and brings that mysterious and dark mood that suits the season.
I received an advance review copy, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for a copy of this book.

BOOK REVIEW
3.5 ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
⚠️ MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS ⚠️
Lamentation by Cullen Bunn is a Graphic Novel where our main character, Jennifer, responds to an advert to take part in a theatre production, however, all is not as it seems when she realises there is no way to leave!
I enjoyed the art style of this graphic novel but found the story to be rather confusing and non-linear in the way it was told. You can tell based on costume changes whether it is 'Real Life' or 'The Play' in most cases, but the switching isn't explained and it is like the character doesn't question it until the end, when it has been happening throughout.
I have given this a 3.5/5 because of the reason I had to go back and read this a few times to understand the plot and ideas, sometimes this is much harder to grasp through images than text alone and it may be unfair of me to rate this as such, but it just couldn't redeem more stars because of the difficulty I had.
I do enjoy gore, and whilsy quite tame, there were scenes that definitely sated what I was looking for in a horror.
I truly believe that making this into a longer series of graphic novels, which explored the mysticism a little more and didn't feel as rushed, would actually be fantastic and worth picking up. Coming to the conclusion in such a short time with no answers seemed like a waste to me personally!
Thankyou NetGalley for allowing me to read this in exchange or a review. All opinions are my own and should not reflect badly on this work as it is personal preference!

I actually surprised by how much I liked this graphic novel! It managed to instantly draw me in and kept me hooked from start to finish. I read it all in one sitting, that's how much I liked it! It's fast-paced and keeps you guessing right up until the end. The way the story kept changing from the present to fully immersing you into the play, and leaving you wondering which one was real, was captivating. The way it's written feels like an episode out of the Twilight Zone, and I mean that in the best possible way. This graphic novel would make an excellent movie or perhaps a mini-series. The art style is classic American comic, but oddly I really loved it. The artist really nailed both modern and gothic horror styles, while also nailing subtle horror.

Cullen Bynne's Lamentation tells the story of a young actress who joins a very... unconventional theatre troupe. The story reminded me a bit of the side story that many crpgs have about acting troupes involved in strange circumstances, which may be a bit too much of a deep cut. Instead I'll compare this to At the Mouth of Madness. Or Lost.
Most Lost imitators miss the most important thing about Lost; incredibly compelling human drama which the supernatural mystery takes a back seat to. This did okay, but not great at that.
It's worth a read and is pretty breezy but can get a bit muddled and hard to follow. Some of this is down to trying to play the cards close to vest. A lot of this is done to art that is muddied and often confusing. It's not terrible but its not clear and is often very unclear.

Thank you NetGally and the Publisher for the Arc.
This is an interesting horror story about a curse in a theater. You lean from the script the past and it parallels the present in different ways. It's almost like a time loop. To break this curse you have to finish the play... Dose anyone finish the play and escape or become part of the curse? Read to find out.
The art is graphic novel/ comic book like art but it's dark and very creepy. The colors chosen bring the atmosphere alive and the drawn ghost or spirits are drawn almost hungry ghouls.
This is like hotel California meets Phantom of the opera but add more horror and loop curses.
I had a great time with this. I'd definitely read more from them.

(I received this book from the editor and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review)
Let’s start by stating that I like Cullen Bunn’s writing… but his stories not always come through. In this case, a comic book about a cursed play, where no one can leave until it is performed… sounds fun, looks fun and, even if it is not something new or groundbreaking, it mostly succeeds. The mirroring between play and reality is very nicely done and the art really helps the narration when this is not entirely clear.
Sadly, the ending feels rushed and leaves the reader with the sensation of having read something that could have been a better story if it only had a couple more pages.

I love horror comics and this one was good and strange. The Requiem Theater holds a lot of secrets that I hope we will learn more of with other issues. Almost instantly, we are introduced to a group of actors and actresses who don't seem to mind all the weirdness going on. We are given a little hint of what's happening, but but why. I honestly can't put into words what's going on- a lot was happening- but it definitely ends where it begins, though it would benefit to have more stories to come. So, here's hoping!

Lamentation is a dark graphic novel set in a theater where nothing is as it seems.
This was an absolutely thrilling read. The story was so interesting, I was immediately sucked in.
I loved the flow from performance to back in the theater.
The art work was amazing and really helped to set the tone of the story.
I would love to read more from this author!

What a refreshing read on the idea of grief tethering you to one place. I truly enjoyed this comic and thought it was unnerving enough at some points that I didn't feel all that safe about reading in the dark.
The parallels between the play and real life playing out simultaneously was beautifully done and made the story so much more enjoyable, and the ending was a solid twist of the knife. A fun time, and great read for the spooky season!

This is a story of a cursed theater that traps its actors on the premises and in the play they’re working on. The creepy vibes mainly come from the art, which fits well for what’s happening in the story. It is surreal and strange, and definitely gave me a few “oh no!” moments.

Definitely a fun graphic novel, not going to break new ground in any way at all but it's a good way to spend an evening. Good art and a silly fun story that at points makes little to no sense but it is definitely enjoyable.
October 3, 2023
I love the art. One setting reminds me of the 1999 movie the Haunting which is based on the Haunting of Hill House. The story is fun too. Sometimes the cover is the best part of a novel, but fortunately the inside is just as good, if not better.

A serviceable story of theatrical terror. Bunn works to sell the concept of the unescapeable playhouse, but I think there could have been a few more chills.

A graphic novel that picks at the fourth wall and upends reality. Full review here: https://bewarethescarylibrarian.blogs...

Beautiful (if often very dark) art in this theatre set tale. I especially loved the switching between the real world and the world of the play; it made for some impressive visuals.
February 5, 2024
This pulled some elements of Phantom of the Opera into a "real world" setting with a cyclical audition turned horror plot. I didn't care for the art style with really overly heavy lines and a lot of dark colors that made details hard to see.
