The Autumn Kingdom
The Autumn Kingdom #2
The deadly dark fairy tale from masters of folk-horror Cullen Bunn (Harrow County, Invasive) and Christopher Mitten (Hellboy and the B.P.R.D.) writes a frightful new chapter . . .
Sisters Sommer and Winter are shaken and bewildered in the wake of a goblin horde smashing apart their family’s vacation cabin and absconding into the night with their parents. But the mysterious, jagged, hulking sword they stumbled on as they fled into the forest offers the young girls surprising strength, agility, and a vicious means to fight back. When they seek shelter with an old couple in the woods, they learn the truth behind the monsters, the fairies, the withering realm known as the Autumn Kingdom, and the deadly sacrifice it requires . . .

So the fair folk have taken the parents to the Autumn Kingdom as a sacrifice because their world is dying. Also the people in the woods are totally down with delivering the family to the fair folk who they worship. Nice and straightforward and scary. A Labyrinth meets Witcher vibe.

Better than issue 1, but I’m still not sure this has a team with a real POV.

Connections between the story within the story and our characters are coming together more, but still too short of an edition.
