Dolls over all tend to be uncomfortable. M.R. Carey ups that ante with the comic The Doll House Family, as part of the Joe Hill House comics imprint from DC comics. Alice loves to play with her dolls, and is known to have elaborate conversations with them. Normally imaginative child right? Maybe not. When she turns six, she’s given a beautiful antique dollhouse complete with beautiful, realistic dolls. Life isn’t easy for Alice, so she turns to the dollhouse and her new friends for comfort and understanding. This is, until they ask her to come into the doll house and play. As in, shrink down and be part of the house. They promise to grant her a wish, if only she’ll agree to their request.
Nope. No thanks. The comic is well written, the art beautiful, but it’s still going to make your skin crawl. I love the fact that Joe Hill is lending his name to the comic imprint and that they are already working with folks like M.R. Carey.
The Doll House Family is available today wherever comic books are sold.
