SCORCH

by Ashley Witter, Ash Maczko

Scorch is a demon living an immortal life as a young teen in suburban America. To gain this immortal gift, she made a deal with a powerful demon who has since manifested himself as a monster (living in her closet) to keep tabs on the debt she needs to settle -- the payment: 10,000 souls, plus interest. Accompanied by her gang of misfits, hoods, and dweebs, Scorch sets out to discover her true past, prevent the end of the world, and pass the 10th grade.

A graphic novel that began as a self-published online webcomic, Scorch is about a demon in the body of a teenage girl, who must collect souls for another demon in exchange for immortality. The art is incredibly unique, full of energy in its style, and you can feel the artist's passion in every line stroke. This volume only covers 2 short chapters with a teaser for a 3rd, and some of the artist's character sketches at the end. The story comes off as quite disjointed and chaotic but there's a lot of potential. Sadly, I believe Ashley Witter never ended up publishing another volume and the webcomic is now offline. I would love a continuation of this.

This was a weird book. Not sure what was happening at times.

Loved the pencils, loved the lettering (very good lettering), but the story didn't always make sense.
