"Nice f*cking job." -<b>Warren Ellis
</b><br />
"What a writhingly dark bite of atmosphere, I'm hungry
for more!" -<b>Ming Doyle</b><br />
"Bellaire's writing blends folklore with a
contemporary urgency and Del Rey's art is beautifully, frighteningly immersive.
A stunning debut." -<b> Scott Snyder </b><br />
"Eisner Award-winning colorist Bellaire's debut
writing effort is a stellar feminist occult horror comic... The spine-tingling
adventure is filled with examples of sexual harassment, such as a principal
propositioning one of his female students for sex, adding emotional terror to
the spooky mix. Monsters abound, but even the supernatural characters evoke
humanity and empathy. Del Rey's fine-lined watercolor-style art makes even gore
look gorgeous and sets an ominous mood which elevates the suspense. This dark
campfire tale is both politically relevant and terrifying." -<b><i>Publishers
Weekly</i></b><br />
"Image's powerful series <i>Redlands</i> highlights
the link between womanhood and witchcraft, showing the misogyny behind the
mythology... In a disturbing, beautiful way, co-creators Jordie Bellaire and
Vanesa Del Rey's <i>Redlands</i> out today from Image revels in the idea that
magic is born from unholy contracts between the devil and clever women."<b><i>

"A chilling, vibrant, angry debut comic from some of
the best creators working in comics today. These pages burn with brilliant art
and perfectly rendered characters. Witches and Florida are the peanut butter and
chocolate that have been missing from comics (and my life). If you're looking
for a horror book that will grab you from page one and won't let go, if you're
looking for a comic oozing with topical, all-too-real nightmares, or if you're
just looking for a rippin' yarn-pre-order <i>Redlands</i> at your local comic
shop today." -<b>Robbie Thompson</b><br />
A mysterious and bloodthirsty matriarchal force runs the town of Redlands, Florida, and in order to stay on top, sacrifices must be made. Someone is intent on removing these women from the top of the food chain, and he's ready to unleash their darkest secret but has seriously underestimated the lengths the townspeople will go to protect the new order of things.
Inspired by the strange complexities of real world politics and crime, the characters of Redlands play victim and villain, attempting to understand themselves and others, through murder, magic and mayhem.
