I think they're going with a "season" approach much like TV. There are plans for more as far as I know. I think it's overrated but that's me.

Yeah, there are definitely plans for a second story arc. I think it was even confirmed how it would focus on Sailor's further adventures. I'm hesitant whether I want to check it out.

I picked up the first arc too, and liked it for the most part. It seemed good; but not as enjoyable as other horror stuff that I'm reading these days. After the arc was over, I thought about it and personally had trouble envisioning how it could hold up as an ongoing; so I dropped it from my pull list. (Your mileage may vary.)

it mightve been originally conceived as a miniseries, but the sales and the upcoming movie will bring out more....maybe it will be better....

If Scott Snyder is coming back for it, I'd def be down. Unfortunately, Sail's dad was really the one that stole the show, so I wouldn't expect it to be better, but I'd still check it out to see how much further they can go with it.

It seemed like the series focused a lot more on the relationship between Sail and her dad, than the explanation and backstories on the Wytches themselves, which is what I would like to see more of.

I also read the first arc some days ago and i also liked it, but some things were flawed.

1. I liked the dad a lot more than Sail. I couldn't establish a connection to the character and i am not really interested in her further journey.

2. The more we learn about the wytches, they become less and less scary or terrifying. Around issue 3 or 4 it seems like every mystery has been lifted and they are just generic monsters.

Last I heard it was supposed to be coming back this year sometime....

I seem to be in agreement with most of the other posters here.
Yes, there will almost certainly be a "season 2", and the book is just as impressive as it is a letdown.
Of course, this is all relative and your enjoyment (or lack thereof) can only be rated by you, but I was disappointed in this book. The story seemed to fall flat to me. I really enjoyed the art though.
I would pretty much grade it and Outcast the same. B- or C+.
Not a classic so far by any means, but has the potential to become memorable. (Eventually)

I remember when this preview for issue #1 came out. Am I crazy but I think I remember not seeing this scene in issue #1 or any other issue of the series? I don't have the issues in front of me but can anyone verify that this scene was not in Wytches at all?

Yeah, I don't recall that either.

You're correct! They explicitly drew an entirely separate preview to build up hype for the book. It was just to give readers a taste of what the series would feel like.

You summed it up: B-/C+. I was disappointed since I'm a huge fan of Snyder's American Vampire. The problem with Wytches seems to be that Snyder forgot that drawings on a page are never all that scary in and of themselves and need good writing to really elevate them. That prologue scene of the kid ratting out his mother to the coven chilled me, but after that it wasn't terribly scary and even lacked AV's campy sense of fun.

Well, there's still hope for it going forward. I read the series in "floppy" format, so I don't know if the trade had the articles Snyder did at the end of each issue, but those were actually better than the story for the most part(imo). The comic obviously means something to him, and knowing Snyder, that might mean it takes 2-3 story arcs to pay off.
As long as it doesn't turn into a story about Jim Gordon becoming a Robo-Warlock, it might be worth sticking around for.
