Johnston, Rich (2022-02-11). "James Tynion IV Shows You Teenage Mad Scientist Christopher Chaos". Bleeding Cool . Retrieved 2022-07-13. The Nice House on the Lake, written by James Tynion IV (!) and Álvaro Martínez Bueno, with Jordie Bellaire on colors, is part of the Tynion wave sweeping the current phase of comics. Tynion, one of the two or three “it” people in comics now, was just awarded 2022 Eisner Awards for Best Writer, Best continuing Series (Something is Killing the Children), and Best New Series, this one. He’s this year’s Jeff Lemire, I guess. Batman Gambit: It's revealed in the final issue of Cycle One that the plan to make the housemates ultimately accept their situation in the house isn't Walter's at all; it's Norah's, and she devised it based on her ability to predict how the group would react to the situation, and what scenarios would lead them to a path of ultimate acceptance. Walter is initially hesitant to use her plan, but after his own attempts to get them on board utterly fail (which Norah also predicted), he agrees to try it her way. And it works.

Now, imagine that friend was in fact a ghoulish alien “flesh-tornado” masquerading as a human being in a bid to exterminate humanity, and they’ve chosen you as one of a handful to survive. For the protagonists of The Nice House on the Lake, writer James Tynion IV and artist Alvario Martinez Bueno’s horror series at DC Comics, this hypothetical is an all-too-terrifying reality. And, the very last line of the book? Yeah, to me, it felt cheap. It's the whole, "stay tuned, there's more to come" when we should have just been left with a "holy shit, what are they gonna do now?" ending. Andreeva, Nellie (2016-12-02). " 'The Woods' TV Series Based On Boom! Comic In Works At Syfy With Brad Peyton". Deadline . Retrieved 2022-07-13. A very good but not quite perfect volume for a quality series. I think the pieces of the picture are better than the whole, and the ending left a little to be desired for me personally.

All of them were at that moment in their lives when they could feel themselves pulling away from their other friends; wouldn’t a chance to reconnect be…nice? In The Nice House on the Lake, the overriding anxieties of the 21st century get a terrifying new face—and it might just be the face of the person you once trusted most.

I went into this without any knowledge other than it was a horror comic and I really think that served me well.

Another parallel: Tynion's own The Woods series, which now feels like a dry run for whatever is going on in The Nice House on the Lake. I can't believe the same guy who wrote the "ambitious but only pretty good" The Woods series wrote this. Such an upgrade. A collection of the first six issues, titled The Nice House on the Lake Volume 1, is conveniently scheduled for release on March 15. It works working out well, timing wise, for the series to resume new issues on or after March 15.Although things end with the inhabitants of the eponymous house assuming that Walter has been killed and that they now live under some semblance of freedom, that couldn't be farther from the case. Not only is Walter still alive, but he knows that things are about to get harder than ever for his so-called friends. Even if his alien masters aren't aware of the trouble that has been caused in Walter's ecosystem, it is only a matter of time before they are. This is because the humans within it are so close to colliding with their fellow survivors elsewhere. Too many characters. I kept confusing them til the very end. Oh no, something happened to one of the characters, which one was that again, etc. Worst thing is probably that it doesn't matter that much which character is which. The pieces are there to make The Nice House on the Lake, Volume 1 a fun book but James Tynion IV fails to assemble them into anything more than a narrative that’s unfortunately more often boring than not.

I was so excited that the second volume was available because the opening volume was spectacular. It took a few seconds to realize that Walter had played with everyone’s memories again, which is when I settled in and followed along. This time around, we watch as Walter tries to manipulate everyone into settling down in their new reality now that they think they’re just trapped at the lake house. The only problem is that no one wants to settle in long-term because they think there’s a world that still exists outside of the lake house. However, it is going much smoother since they’re no longer angry and upset knowing what happened to everyone they’ve ever known. Bait-and-Switch: The Ryan from the present day is wearing bandages on her face and holding a spear, indicating something bad has happened. She also puts on a N95 respirator, indicating that perhaps there is something toxic in the air...until we get to the beginning of the story and see that she already had the respirator due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.
