BONUS REVIEW by Kevin Healy
 This is a disquieting horror-ish book about the house built by the heir to the Winchester arms empire. Since this house is a real thing, a mix between an Escher print and a haunted house, there's extra discomfort built in naturally. Sarah Winchester lost her husband and daughter. She's bringing their bodies home, but may also be talking to them via her special home where the hammers never stop and guns are not allowed. She also might just be crazy. Real violence, real ugliness, and quite possibly real evil all make their way to her doorstep by the time this issue ends. The art by Ian Bertram seems to me exactly what Frank Quietly would look like inked by Chris Burnham. It's an odd, uncomfortable book. I liked it quite a bit. I give it 8 out of 10 Grahams VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
