In the first issue of Brynmore, a new five-issue gothic horror from Steve Niles and Damien Worm, Mark Turner must return home and confront his troubled past once and for all. Unfortunately, home, in this case, is a cursed island and the locals aren't exactly thrilled to see a member of its founding family return.
Brynmore #1 is a typically compelling opener from Niles, the 30 Days of Night writer who, at this point, must be considered a modern master of horror, while Worm's art is heavy on doomy atmosphere. It's certainly a tantalising start to a very promising new series.
