Comments: The visuals are stunning and the flood of red just helps make the stand out even more on the first page. 
  Daisy and Luke are a couple having an ordinary date when things go way wrong. 
  Daisy does start to heal after that night. You will feel her pain and loss. She is suffering and rightly so. Things though have started to take a strange turn as Daisy sees red through her nonexistent eye. Than she sees it. 
  So what exactly is going on here? The story does peak your interest getting you wanting to know who or what did Daisy see? How does this connect with her happened to her eye? What about Luke? So many mysteries and you will want to come back to learn all about them. 
  Daisy is such a beautiful person you will find yourself caring what happens to her and how she deals with all this stuff. So far there are no supporting characters. Daisy is the entire focus of the issue. Daisy is just an ordinary woman who finds herself in an extraordinary situation.

  Things are happening in Daisy's life and there is no rhyme for them. They do seem to be supernatural and the weird scary things she sees seem tied into her loosing her eye. The world turns red and things are no longer as they seem. Something is coming for Daisy. 
  This is a slowly building horror story and the horror takes place in the form of Daisy's life.

Comments: A horrifying image awaits you as you open up this book. Daisy tries to out run this horror. It just keeps following her. As it catches up to her exactly what you think will happen does but reversed. Daisy is a woman who just does not know what to do about her seeing things. 
  Daisy is still getting over losing Luke. It is hard on her and add the lose of an eye and her headaches and seeing things you will feel sorry for this lovely girl. 
  The funeral is a small quite affair. Daisy did love Luke and misses him. 
  Daisy is just your ordinary everyday girl and her life is being invaded by this creature. Is it gone now? Well Daisy is still going on living her life. She has a new job. Things are changing for her. 
  Having more of an idea what exactly is going on even a hint would help make this story more interesting. 
  You just know though the weirdness is not over for her.

Comments: Daisy does go to London, England for her new job. Daisy is taking charge of her life and moving on or at least trying to. Daisy is helping to solve a puzzle box. It is a tough one. 
  Daisy has made friends who are not as they seem. Things in Daisy's life rarely are anymore. The black shadowy man is still around and still following Daisy. 
  Daisy's personality is what will draw you into this comic. You will feel sad for her yet realize she is dealing with her situation as best she can. You may even recognize some similarities to her situation in your own.  
  The illustrations of London do it justice and they do show it off wonderfully but it does look a bit bleak. Daisy is drawn as an average woman one you can tell does have some strange things happening in her life. 
  The mystery of The Red Mother continues, who or what is The Red Mother?

Comments: Daisy enjoys a nice day out with her gentleman friend. They meet a couple of her other friends while out and we see those who are trusted may not deserve it. Than its back to work. 
  Daisy is still bothered from losing her eye it causes her headaches yet we can see and she knows it is more than just headaches. 
  Daisy and Ian move to the next step in their relationship. Meanwhile something waits for Daisy. 
  It is hard to figure out exactly where this series is going. The creature is mysterious and Daisy is a delightful person. Daisy makes this comic worth reading the way she presses on with her life after a tragedy. Her new job of puzzle solving is still somewhat of a mystery. What is the puzzle she is helping to solve and why does her boss want it solved so much. 
  Daisy is one strong woman and she will fight for herself.

Comments: The visuals that start this off are shocking and unnerving. There is lots of red used in the first pages giving a feeling of terror as you continue on. 
  Daisy does get some happiness in her life which gets balanced out by the strange and mysterious. Daisy does continue her work and her life making progress in both. Daisy is great at solving puzzle boxes. How does this tie in to the creature Daisy sees. 
  Daisy's boyfriend Ian is paid a visit by the creature. This thing is a nightmare and will give you nightmares. 
  Daisy is one strong woman handling all that has happened in her life and still living her life and finding enjoyment in it. She is a role model that others could look up to. 
  Daisy has all these mysteries happening around her and has no idea what is going on. This comic does keep you guessing. The fact that so many people around Daisy are in on it does make this story even more frightening. No one can be trusted.

Comments: Cordelia is under attack and Daisy comes to her rescue. They fight back and fight hard. These two women are not helpless victims. 
  Daisy does have one strange dream or rather a nightmare. The use of lots of red to illustrate it works so well. 
  Daisy and Cordelia end up comforting each other as they heal and recover after the attack. When the two visit Daisy's boyfriend's place something is going on. Where is Ian? 
  Daisy is a troubled woman and she deserves some peace in her life. She does not get it. The visions she has and her dreams are stressful and she has put up with a lot in her life. 
  The story in this series has gone on long enough now that it needs to start explaining what is going on rather than just slight glimpses of mysterious things. Plus who or what is the white faced being? 
  Daisy is just a woman trying to get through life and get some enjoyment out of it. Life on the other hand is not cooperating with her. You will see how strong this woman is and find your heart reaching out to her.

Comments: Daisy is under attack and fighting for her life. She gets help from a most unexpected source. Daisy does know fear but also courage. She has been put through so much in her recent life. 
  Daisy's psychiatrist is brought over seas to continue working with her in person. Daisy is such a strong person and handling the situation as best she can. She does not fully understand what is going on and neither will you yet the mystery is part of the allure of this comic. 
  This comic does just keep throwing things at you that are totally unexpected. You will not be able to predict where this comic is going. The suspense though does keep building and building. 
  Daisy is your normal every day girl who just wants to live her life and get some enjoyment out of it. Now it looks like everyone around her is out to get her. This is not her being paranoid this is what is really happening. She is amazing for dealing with it all. 
  You will come back wanting to know Daisy's fate.

Comments: Daisy is having troubles. Now she attends a show having to do with a puzzle she has been working on. The experience starts out with a lite party and then she walks into the exhibit. As Daisy makes her way through the exhibit it becomes easy to see this is much more than it at first appears to be. 
  Things go from worst to weird strange supernatural terrifying for Daisy. She is going to meet the Red Mother whoever that is. There is still lots of mystery here. What is planned for Daisy? Why her? Why is everyone she knows in on this whatever this is? 
  The herald is shown again and this creature is a terrifying sight. It has some human characteristics to it but you know it is not. 
  Daisy is someone it is easy to like. She is also someone you will feel pity for. Her life was good before all this Red Mother stuff started happening. It still has not been revealed exactly who this Red Mother is. Your curiosity will be peaked. You will come back to learn what the meaning of everything is and why it is all happening to Daisy.

Comments: The coloring is done mostly all in red it does set the atmosphere for the book. Daisy now just wants to know what is going on and why plus who that strange woman is. Things are so surrealistic and than the Herald is summoned. The Herald is full of a surprise. 
  This creature wants Daisy and as you read along you are finding yourself wanting to know why and what she wants from Daisy. These two end up in one huge battle and it does get gory. The Red Mother and Daisy do go at it in this viscous battle. 
  The ending here does leave you hanging. You will be wondering what is next? It does try to end this but leaves to much open and unanswered. 
  Daisy just accepts what has happened to her and continues her life. She is a survivor and deals with things as best she can. She is just a normal woman who was thrust into a situation that was anything but ordinary.
