Rachel Bellwoar reviews Fearscape #1… There are unreliable narrators and there’s Henry Henry. The name of Fearscape’s self-professed tragic hero isn’t a typo but it could be a lie, and that’s what makes writer, Ryan O’Sullivan, and illustrator, Andrea Mutti’s, new series so beguiling. Form matters. In fact, the opening page is all about how […]
