In Small Mining American Town, the women are having episodes of memory loss. Well, it’s gotta be the men’s fault, hasn’t it? Teenagers El and Octavia set out to find out what’s what because apparently only teenagers can crack this one.I’ve never heard of either Carmen Maria Machado or Dani (really, artists are still going by single-name monikers?) and I can see why - The Low, Low Woods is a low, low quality comic!
The book is full of bad storytelling where all the disparate elements don’t mesh or come together as a coherent narrative. Deer monster, child witch, literal magic mushrooms, skinned men appearing out an abyss - ok, whatever. It’s coupled with really ugly, scratchy art throughout that often looks like thumbnails that got coloured in.
A totally unimpressive, thoroughly boring and unmemorable “horror” story, The Low, Low Woods is the worst one of DC’s Hill House range so far, and that’s saying something because they’re all terrible!
