Hank and Gina are monster hunters; they are seeking evidence
of the supernatural. They do this because Gina saw something years ago when
their home was destroyed. Now they’re checking out a place called the Witch’s
Den, despite all of the warnings they’ve gotten from the locals. But are they
ready for what they might find?
This is a modernized retelling of the Hansel and Gretel
story of old. Hank and Gina are adults, they drive around in cars, they have
smartphones. They also carry around a film crew and equipment like that we
might see on supernatural hunting TV shows. The end of this issue teases that
they will meet the witch next time, and I’m admittedly curious to see what
they’ll do with her. Hank and Gina are both obviously haunted by their
experiences (forgive the pun), and are likable enough that I want to follow
them through the story.
This title appeals on multiple levels—we know the stories
will be good, it’s fun to see modernized versions of them, and who doesn’t love
a good spookfest?
