CROWBOUND #1 from Image Comics is a dark, mysterious and visually stunning new series from Jeff Lemire and Dustin Nguyen.

Rose is an ordinary mother living in the shadow of a massive structure known as the Factory. But when her daughter Ava is taken, Rose is forced beyond the safety of her settlement and into a strange world filled with abandoned villages, deadly swamps and supernatural forces.

And then she encounters the terrifying Scarecrow Queen, who offers Rose one chance to save her daughter — but at the ultimate cost.

In this spoiler-free review, I talk about the intriguing mystery, the unique world-building, the fascinating characters and Dustin Nguyen’s distinctive artistic approach.

CROWBOUND feels like a story with a massive world waiting to be explored, and this first issue gives us just enough to make me want to see what comes next.

What would you be willing to sacrifice to save someone you love?
