The last of Rebellions "Specials" for this year finally arrived and I have to say was well worth the weight. This is completely different to all the other multi-feature issues they have been producing as the Misty Winter Special contains just one major story and a shorter "backup".
Infection by V.V.Glass & Anna Savory is a solid read which delves into the thoughts of a young girl who managed to win a scholarship to a very special school where there are seemingly no rules...except there seem to be rules (a lesson for Anarchists here methinks) and these lead to a mystery and some disturbing revelations. Much more than this I will leave you to find out.
Oh and did I mention the fabulous art by V.V. Glass. Hope we see more of their work in future issues.
Infection is frankly very disturbing in part because it seems so possible in the real world......
This is followed by much more traditional but the equally worthy Home For Christmas by Lizzie Boyle and David Reach. A babysitter, two children, Christmas eve and a phone that falls down a long disused well. What could go wrong!
This is a horror comic at the end of the day even if Misty was originally for girls. If like me you didn't have a sister who read these first time round and refused point blank to be seen buying a girlie comic at the newsagents there's a number of collected editions which are well worth picking up.
Rating: 5 Stars (Highly recommended)
