Critics Review
“A cool story that twists and turns, but rewards you for paying attention…. If you liked Riverdale, this is a great book to check out. There’s some romance in here. There are mysteries. It’s in a small town. Great, great stuff. I love this. I can’t wait for the next volume.”– “Comic Book Club Live”
“Both wholesome and weird.” – “LA Daily News”
“Gritty”– “Book Riot”
“If, like me, you grew up reading The Hardy Boys (or Nancy Drew) and The Boxcar Children, and you also have a soft spot for Twin Peaks and other comforting yet disturbing Lynchian dreamscapes, then you should find a lot to enjoy within the quaint and creepy pages of Kris Bertin and Alexander Forbes’ Hobtown Mystery Stories….Eclectic”– “Daily Dead”
“Kris Bertin and Alexander Forbes have remixed the vibe of Twin Peaks, The X-Files, The Hardy Boys, with a dash of Wes Anderson and distilled it into something perfectly unique. It’s a phenomenal reading experience and I cannot wait for the next four volumes of the series.”– “Biff Bam Pop”
“Think the Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew, but directed by David Lynch. We shouldn’t have to write anymore. You’re sold already…. If you’ve read Ed Brubaker and Marcos Martín’s Friday series and want more and weirder, creators Kris Bertin and Alexander Forbes deliver.”– “Comic Book Couples Counseling”
“With its pulpy cast of teen detectives and folk horror elements, this series offers a modern twist on beloved tropes, inviting readers to revisit the thrill of adolescent adventure with a sharp adult edge…. Bertin’s confident prose and Forbes’ evocative artwork combine to create a narrative experience that is as immersive as it is unforgettable.”– “Toons Mag”
