Scarenthood #2

Scarenthood

by Nick Roche

Cormac and his daughter Scooper haven't hung out much lately—he's been trying to learn more about the thing he disturbed underneath the village hall, why it's dogging him, and whether it's connected to the disappearance of a child four decades and while her dad's been so busy and her mum is... not at home... Scooper has found a new friend to take special care of her. Will a father/daughter stroll through the woods bring them closer together, or tear them apart? Nick Roche ( The Wreckers Saga, Renew Your Vows) and Chris O’Halloran (Ice Cream Man) are on babysitting duties...

Great art and compelling story! Definitely enjoying the world building and the character development! Quite creepy and compelling.

Slightly better than the first issue, but not something I'm going to continue reading.

What I really like about this “Scarenthood” miniseries is that it feels like a cross between “The X-Files” and a Saturday morning cartoon. Nick Roche’s drawing style has a drippy angularity that reminds me of Skottie Young, Humberto Ramos, and Rob Guillory all mushed together and there’s nothing to not like about that. This issue is a little lighter on chills than the first one but I dig the world-building and characterization; it helps round out the story for future scares (also, I really like their Irish slang and off-kilter pronunciations). Can’t wait to read the next issue.

I'd say this issue was consistent with the first, more of the creepiness unfolds, and the reader isn't quite sure where it's all going, but there are a few chilling panels, especially that last page. You also get a little deeper into some of the parents' character, I'm still not sure I like any of them, but they're unfolding at a reasonable pace for a limited run like this.

Review is for Scarenthood 1-3: I've really enjoyed reading this comic so far! I wasn't sure I'd be able to relate with the story because I'm not a parent, but the children are really only a small contribution to the overall arc and the other characters and supernatural elements are unique enough to have kept me invested in the events of this world. I look forward to reading future issues!

The search for the truth is starting to wear on all the parents and their home lives.

Picked this up on a whim and I am SO GLAD I did! As an Irish comic book lover I identified with so many aspects of the characters, right from the first page. Everything comes to life... EVERYTHING

I can't believe I picked this up after saying I wasn't. Still bad and I the kids are drawn horribly. I won't be reading further to see what happens.
