Rowans Ruin #3

BOOM!; $3.99
In issue two (of four) Katie started investigating Rowans Rise in the hopes of discovering who the ghosts are and why they are haunting the house. In issue three the ghost of Dylan, Emily’s lover, appears to take Katie on a trip through his most recent interactions with Emily, which leads to a surprising discovery. Upon further investigation, Katie learns even more secrets and as she puts the pieces together her own life is put in danger.
A lot has happened in just three issues of Rowans Ruin. Writer Mike Carey has crafted a compelling story that flirts with ghost story troupes but sneaks in some good scares and surprising twists. Plenty of ground needs to be covered in the conclusion of the miniseries, but at this rate, Carey will have no problem achieving a satisfying conclusion with a few more spooky moments. Issue #3 was illustrated by Mike Perkins with colors by Andy Troy. The art pits the light and dark against each other, beautifully symbolizing the good and evil felt throughout the story. The characters are articulately drawn, leaving no ambiguity to their thoughts or intentions.
