Severed is a seven issue run of psychological horror that will keep you gripped from start to finish. Set in 1916, the plot centers around a young boy named Jack who has run away from home in search of his father. The terror slowly unfolds as Jack meets a travelling salesman who has a sinister plan and a taste for flesh.

Having spent many years reading comics, its always refreshing when you come across a story that really stands out. I'd not heard of Severed at all before I read it but I can honestly say that once the pages started turning I quickly became drawn into the slow and tense atmosphere that was building with every issue.
Without giving away any specific spoilers, the final confrontation is pretty brutal and after all that progressive build up, it's well worth the wait.
If you're a fan of the horror genre in any sense then you'll enjoy Severed, It's a well written story with some great artwork and it will tease you until the very last page. - Matt W
