For those who believe that violence and gore are the principal hallmarks of an engaging graphic horror story, Tuft and Snyder (Batman; American Vampire) make the case that exemplary storytelling is essential as well. Severed follows the story of Jack Garron, a 12-year old who runs away from home in order to find his father when he discovers the truth about his own identity. What Garron discovers, however, is that as exciting as life on the road can be, it can also be a place of hardship, heartbreak, and, indeed, terror. When Garron crosses paths with a free-spirited girl named Sam, things begin to look up. But when they meet the mysterious Mr. Fisher, things go in a very different direction. What impresses is the sophistication with which Snyder and Tuft manage to develop Jack's relationship with Sam, while also showing how Jack's naïveté must eventually have consequences. Futaki's artwork is exceptional, mixing fine-lined horror aesthetic with homespun characters. Although the story is perhaps not strongest in its climactic moments-when readers must be a bit more conscious of their suspension of disbelief-Severed combines the verbal and the visual to present a haunting story.
From the Back Cover
1916. A man haunts the roads. A man with razor-sharp teeth and a hunger for flesh. When twelve-year old Jack Garron runs away from home to find his father, a wayward minstrel who he hasn't seen since birth, he'll discover how quickly the American Dream can become a nightmare. From Eisner and Harvey Award winning writer Scott Snyder (AMERICAN VAMPIRE, BATMAN, SWAMP THING), writer Scott Tuft, and New York Times Best Seller artist Attila Futaki (PERCY JACKSON AND THE OLYMPIANS) comes the critically acclaimed horror hit of the year in this deluxe hardcover edition.

Two Scotts make a Hell of a comic
By Richard David Llanton
I opened my first Scott Snyder issue last year and have not looked back since trying to get my hand on everything he touches. I picked Severed up without really any expectations other than it would be completely awesome and I'm happy to say I was right. From the beginning until the end it truly plays out like a cinematic story the final panel especially included. (I think I heard the inception theme) Though I am not a typical fan of horror, I can appreciate any story told in any medium if done well. I have always liked how Snyder digs into his own deepest fears and allows us to share in his terrors. The characterization really moves the story line along and you really start to feel for Jack and Sam as we follow Jack through his coming of age journey and loss of innocence. This continues my vow to buy anything written by Scott Snyder and it seems I will have to keep an eye out for Scott Tuft's projects as well.

The Best Horror Comic in Years.
By The Blue Thunder Bomb
The current trend of horror, whether in film, books, or comics, the trend seems to be that of the post-apocalyptic survival horror, whether (in comics, anyway) it's Garth Ennis' terrific Crossed, Vol. 1, or Robert Kirkman's insanely popular and addictive The Walking Dead, Book 1 (Bk. 1). Of course, there will always be vampire books as well, but zombies rule the earth of pop culture for now since zombies are a more appropriate commentary on humanity's ravenous consumerism.
Now, when I first heard that Scott Snyder, currently DC Comics' most talented writer as exampled in Batman: The Black Mirror, Swamp Thing Vol. 1: Raise Them Bones (The New 52), Batman Vol. 1: The Court of Owls (The New 52) and American Vampire Vol. 1, I had absolutely no trepidation about getting this book when it came out. I was also very interested in it since, from advance previews, it didn't seem to follow any of the current trends in horror fiction, and its setting was very different from anything that was currently on the shelves.
The story opens in the mid-1950's with an old man sitting peacefully in front of a television with his grandson watching a performance by Elvis (Snyder's personal favorite musician), when he receives something that frightens him. We also notice he's missing an arm. In his internal monologue, he states he never told anyone the truth of how he lost the arm, and thus we begin following him on the horrifying journey he took back just after the end of World War One.
The son of an absent travelling musician and a doting mother, 12-year-old Jack Brakeman's whole world is about to change. A talented violinist himself, his mother informs him he's been accepted to a prestigious music school. The problem is that Jack has dreams of meeting his father and has a picture of him with his address. Rather than go to the school, he packs some things and his violin and hops the nearest freight train so that he might meet his father as well as live some of the life that his father does.
In another part of America, a young orphan about Jack's age is being taken in by a friendly-seeming but nameless older man to be an apprentice for General Electric. And in terrifying fashion, we learn that this friendly-seeming old man is not what he seems at all.
Jack's journey is fraught with problems from the outset, though, as almost everything he owns is stolen by men, working for the railroad, who 'discourage' hobos and vagabonds and runaways from getting free rides on their trains. Jack is saved by Sam, another youngster who knows a lot more about living this rough and tumble life than Jack, and Sam has secrets as well. All Jack has left is his violin, and he and Sam travel through towns and play music for pocket change. As Jack gets closer to his father, the older man, referred to only as "The Salesman", gets closer to Jack. Nothing seems to connect the two at first, but as secrets are slowly revealed, it builds to an unforgettable climax.
The title of this review is not hyperbole. I haven't read a horror tale as intelligent, well-paced, or this frightening since Alan Moore's run on Swamp Thing Vol. 1: Saga of the Swamp Thing. While I love THE WALKING DEAD and CROSSED, they do have issues that drag or go too far towards shock and cheap scares. SEVERED is a book that drips with dread from almost every page. There are very few moments that don't have a sense of foreboding, and when the time comes to truly ramp up the terror, Snyder and co-writer Scott Tuft do so cleverly and with great precision. Artist Atilla Futaki also deserves much of the credit as well. The framing of the action and almost photo-realistic style Futaki has, as well as his use of color all show an extraordinary talent at work. I've never seen his work before, but I will certainly be on the lookout for in the future.
There are moments of SEVERED that will be hard, if not impossible to forget, and if Snyder does take the time to possibly expand on this story in the future, I'm sure it will be told with the same deft hand and remarkable sense of pace, style, smarts and sheer terror.
This was one of the very best comic series of the last 12 months, and I sincerely hope that this collection will be as successful as it deserves to be.

Thoroughly enjoyed the art and the story--Exceptional
By Drew
I received my copy of SEVERED and my first reaction was: wow! that cover is gorgeous. It really is, and notwithstanding the old warning about judging a book by the cover, it's certainly better to have a great cover than an unengaging one.
The entire book is gorgeous, actually--I mean the illustrations as well as the craftsmanship of the assembled product. Clearly a lot of care went into every aspect of the design.
I started reading, thinking I would just get a sense of the story and then finish it later in the week. An hour later, I was finished and thrilled that I couldn't put it down. I have since gone back to read it again, with more care and it holds up the second time through. It's a great story--it plays on surface fears and more hidden ones. It's exciting and scary--and I really didn't expect a graphic novel to really BE scary. Most of the books I read are action-focused, not horror genre. The layout is perfect and the reading experience was very fluid--I have read comics where the layout is actually confusing to the reader, which just takes the reader OUT of the experience. Not the case here.
Overall, it's a wonderful book. I am by no means an afficianado of this genre, but it came highly recommended to me and it certainly delivered on that promise. I would look forward to more in this series or by these writers.
