The publisher's summary:
Welcome to Crestfall Bluffs! With law school and her whole life ahead of her, Joey plans to spend the summer with her boyfriend Astor in his seemingly perfect hometown. It’s a chance to finally meet his family and childhood friends, all while enjoying a vacation where every need is attended to. But beneath the affluent perfection lies a dark, deadly rot… will Joey discover the truth before it’s too late, and even if she does, can she survive to tell the tale?
Release 1A is obviously a set up comic. There is no horror in the story yet. You can feel the tension though between Joey and her 1% boyfriend's family. I would describe it as a psychological thriller instead. This release does a beautiful job of establishing the characters and the mystery to come. I feel Joey's pain as she navigates a formal shindig at Astor's home wearing the wrong type of clothing and jewelry. She also made the mistake of asking the help if they needed any help. Her politeness was a social faux pas. Astor certainly did not give her a heads up concerning what she could expect.
Eat the Rich is a fantastic comic series and I highly recommend it. 5 out of 5 stars.
