Forbes’ Best Graphic Novels of 2018 WIRED Magazine’s Favorite End-of-Year Books, 2018 A brand-new ongoing horror series from the acclaimed best-selling creative team of Old Man Logan and Green Arrow! The lives of a reclusive young man obsessed with a conspiracy in the city's trash and a washed-up Catholic priest arriving in a small town full of dark secrets become intertwined around the mysterious legend of The Black Barn—an otherworldly building alleged to have appeared in both the city and the small town throughout history, bringing death and madness in its wake. Rural mystery and urban horror collide in this character-driven meditation on obsession, mental illness, and faith that Mark Millar (Hitgirl) called his "personal pick as the best comic of 2018!" Also featuring a variant cover gallery from some of comics' best artists, including Cliff Chiang (PAPER GIRLS), Jock (WYTCHES), Skottie Young (I HATE FAIRYLAND), and more! Collects GIDEON FALLS #1-6 "A pure vision of terror." —Comic Book Resources “Sorrentino’s art offers some visually complex layouts that I found to be quite compelling. Overall, I’m really enjoying this story and the mysterious complexities it brings.” —Impulse Gamer "A dark, brooding piece of evocative horror blessedly short on exposition and long on landscapes, ambiance and feelings." —The Oregonian “Lemire and Sorrentino will go down as one of the greatest comic teams of all time. Gideon Falls cements that. Well, Green Arrow did, but this really REALLY does it.” —Brian Michael Bendis "If you were a fan of Jeff Lemire and Andrea Sorrentino Green Arrow or Old Man Logan, which were instant classics in the eyes of many, then check out this original story." —IGN LIBRARY JOURNAL -- Against his wishes, recovering alcoholic Father Quinn is assigned to lead a church in the small community of Gideon Falls. The previous pastor died, so Quinn is particularly disturbed when that same clergyman appears in his room one night. Chasing the allegedly dead man into a field, Quinn sees an ominous, abandoned-looking structure, which disappears after he finds one of his new parishioners murdered in the field. Meanwhile, in a big city also called Gideon Falls, Norton Sinclair is obsessed with searching through trash, convinced that he is uncovering the remnants of something terrible from his past, a mythical Black Barn. He collects and bottles nails and other specimens from the building, which he hopes to track down. His psychiatrist Dr. Xu is worried that Norton may require institutionalization again, but after she begins to receive her own visions of the Black Barn, she understands that whatever Norton is experiencing is more than psychosis. Together, the various characters are drawn toward whatever sickness lies within the Black Barn. VERDICT Moody metaphysical horror with echoes of Twin Peaks-style strangeness establishes this mysterious world created by Lemire ( Essex County ; Roughneck ), Sorrentino ( Old Man Logan ), and Stewart ( Hellboy ), presented in this first volume of a popular ongoing series.

"Saturated with a horrific sense of anxiety." - Entertainment Weekly "A dark, brooding piece of evocative horror blessedly short on exposition and long on landscapes, ambiance and feelings." ―The Oregonian “Sorrentino’s art offers some visually complex layouts that I found to be quite compelling. Overall, I’m really enjoying this story and the mysterious complexities it brings.” ―Impulse Gamer "Though Lemire is one of the busiest writers in the industry right now, the sheer volume, diversity, and high quality of his output is remarkable. He doesn’t lose a step here nor does Sorrentino, who is composing here at peak level too... I left the experience of Gideon Falls more than ready to see how the mystery of this odd town plays out in the next chapter." ―The Comics Beat "It's a thriller, it's horror, it's literary, and it's also something truly unique." ―Newsarama "If you were a fan of Jeff Lemire and Andrea Sorrentino Green Arrow or Old Man Logan, which were instant classics in the eyes of many, then check out this original story." ―IGN Jeff Lemire is a New York Times bestselling and award winning author, and creator of the acclaimed graphic novels Sweet Tooth, Essex County, The Underwater Welder, Trillium, Plutona, Black Hammer, Descender, Royal City, and Gideon Falls.
