Freddy Krueger is one of those characters that nightmares are truly made of. The Nightmare On Elm Street movies featured the iconic Robert Englund and exactly what my classmates talked about when I was in middle school. No doubt, Englund was scary and his performance was exquisite in how he inhabited the character. His portrayal compared to his contemporary horror villains, Michael Myers and Jason, was far more penetrating.

The one Nightmare On Elm Street film that stayed with me up until now, being the most memorable in all is A Nightmare On Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors. The plot revolved around a group of teens at a mental hospital who all have been affected by Freddy.  The fact that each teenager was affected by  Krueger makes the shock even more real. In the second chapter of Nancy Hernandez and The Black Widows, we see almost the same predicament as the Dream Warriors, the Black Widows now know the threat of Nancy’s vengeful spirit. The spirit is taking up vengeance one by one. But what will they do about her?

We meet up with the Black Widows, as they deal with the aftermath of how Face disappeared mysteriously, as they realize they must band together in order to survive. But their luck only gets worse as the spirit picks them off one by one.

Overall, the issue is more than a satisfying end to one of the best horror books to come out in a while. The story by Scott Marcano is entertaining, well developed, and heartfelt. The art by Juan Romera is gorgeous as this art style serves this story well. Altogether, a story that is both touching and scary, proving these storytellers to be ones to watch.
