This edition collects all five volumes, which do get off to a great start and have so much promise but by the time it starts to wrap up it feels rushed and a bit unearned. It is heavily reliant on pop-culture references, which I will admit to enjoying because I too think About Time is a favorite movie that nobody talks about enough, and it is definitely a story “in the vain” of creepy horror (but also romance?) but it doesn’t register as very fresh. Unfortunately it never quite lands and while it is thrilling and shocking, something felt a bit off about it all. The Me You Love in the Dark by creative team of author Skottie Young and illustrator Jorge Corona has a great premise and interesting ideas with a recently successful artist buying a haunted house in the middle of nowhere to ‘ find a new voice’ for her artwork. I’d like to start by saying the art in here is marvelous.
