From the multi-Eisner award-winning creator of BEASTS OF BURDEN and the artist of ARCHIE and SLAM comes this supernatural fantasy about a magical murder in a sorcery school. When four teenagers with haunted pasts enroll in Blackwood College--a school that trains students in the occult--their desire to enhance their supernatural abilities and bond with others is hampered by an undead dean's curse, ghosts in their dorm, a mischievous two-headed mummy-chimp, a plague of mutant insects, and the discovery of an ancient evil that forces our heroes to undergo a crash course in the occult for the sake of the world. Collects issues #1-#4 of the series, a bonus sketchbook section, pinups by BECKY CLOONAN, TYLER CROOK, STACEY LEE, and DECLAN SHALVEY & JORDIE BELLAIRE!

Mehso-so

RATING: 3/5

Chasing a walking corpse into a well, dealing with gigantic bugs, a curse that may or may not be true, and a love story that makes up for most of the confusion that's hidden between the pages.⁠

There are enough moments that stand out and enough images to make your skin crawl to make this mostly worth the read.⁠

I've seen a few reviews online saying this was boring and generic but I thought it was a fun read personally. 4 students are given a full ride to Blackwood college a college that has a secret school within that studies the occult and magic. From the very first night the students realize something bad is happening at Blackwood and something is seriously wrong with the dean...curses, spells and gore! Oh my! And of course I'm a sucker for the artwork

Blackwood is back with a 2nd mini-series and it takes my #CoverOfTheWeek only because I love this comic so much and I just wanted to hilight it.

Its kinda like a dark Harry Potter story only way more Occultish. Actually...its not really at all like Harry Potter...but that's the buzzword people use for this series.

I mean...it does take place in a magic school I guess.

Anyways. It's awesome & I really dig it. 🤘
