Reviews

Pretty Evil

Comic Book Series

Barstow
"Barstow is a weird combination of dark comedy and grotesque horror that shouldn’t work but does. It wears its influences on its sleeve but yet isn’t afraid to do its own thing, no matter how disturbing that may be."

Get Your Comic On

Barstow’s fish-out-of-water story seems to be a hybrid of Twin Peaks and (the original) Wicker Man, albeit in a much less green setting. The McKendrys' use of a desert town and these weird, out-there characters subverts the rumbling under the surface that’s typical in small-town stories.

FanBase Press

"The best gore has sustenance and Barstow has it... Barstow #1 takes its time getting off the ground but in doing so, it does a great job in grabbing the reader and smacking them with freshly ripped entrails."
