Family Tree #2

"FAMILY TREE #2, out this Wednesday from Image Comics continues the horrifying tale of one grandfather trying to save his family from a grisly and disturbing fate. This issue is not to be missed if you’re seeking answers and chills.

Family Tree is a new joint project from the minds of Jeff Lemire, Phil Hester, Eric Gapstur, and Ryan Cody. And so far the series has been doing everything possible to get our attention. If you’ve been on the lookout for a series that blends together family drama with some truly horrifying elements, then this is a series worth checking out.

The first issue of this series introduced us to a world in which a family has been torn apart. And is only facing more trials with each turn. A single mother has been left to raise her family. First, there’s the troubled teenage son. And now by all appearances, her daughter is being affected by some strange disease.

Enter Grandpa Judd, who seems to have all of the answers. Not that this is the sort of situation where one can actually take a few minutes to sit down and explain the said situation. But thanks to the magic of flashbacks, the readers are at a slight advantage in that regard."
