With each plot twist, MEMOIR #4 (from Image Comics) keeps its readers guessing who to trust during this puzzling mystery. Imagine everyone in a small town taking part in a horrible murder, but somehow they suddenly forgot what they did. The Lowesville residents had their minds wiped clean, as if they are suffering from memory loss. Are they just faking an illness in order to get away with murder? A lone reporter is caught in a web of lies and finds himself trapped in Lowesville.
With the clever setup established, SCREAMLAND #2 (Image
Comics) jumps right into the premise and starts off with its murder at a horror
convention. What if the possible suspects happen to be an alien, a slasher and
a werewolf? When you have a room full of monsters, where do you even actually
start? As the mystery plays out, this is also a smart and satirical look at
life as actors in Hollywood.
