New murders in good old Buckaroo. And just like that the gang is back together again. Like before, things are not as they appear and only one man can make sense of it. But can you trust him? I know I wouldn’t.

This is Williamson so you know the writing is A+. The story moves easy. The humor and the horror dance across the pages. The artwork is great. I love the use of shadow and color. The variation in spacing and borders are nice.

I’m so glad this is back.

I have not read any nailbiter issues before but this one is pretty self contained. The horror movie references and the design of the issue itself were cool and art was nicely done. Bunch of wacky murderers starts a cult and we have our big bad killer whom is the father of our heroine and he has been presumed dead shocker he is alive and our crazy officer keeps him inside his “batcave” and another cute detail is that the secret entrance book was “Silmarillion” by tolkien.

I’ve been eagerly awaiting the return of Nailbiter for months! Needless to say, I wasn’t disappointed.

Not only was the first issue packed with some tasty Easter Eggs, but the stage has been set for an even more terrifying tale than every before!

Lots of twists and a huge reveal: this book will leave you chomping at your cuticles!

Nailbiter: The Sequel. The Buckaroo Butchers return. Are they resurrected? Were they cloned? Are there perverse imitators running amok? Not quite as strong as the original, but no sequel ever is. Worth your time!
