"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 Redlands at your local comic shop today." -Robbie Thompson
"Image's powerful series Redlands highlights the link between womanhood and witchcraft, showing the misogyny behind the mythology...
