Tonight I will be storytiming the first six issues of Gail Simone's horror comic Clean Room. The basic premise is that a woman tries to investigate a self-help organization after her fiance commits suicide following an encounter with them. Spoilers will be used for reveals, and for the occasional nudity

You forgot
>P.S.: There are lesbians
Gotta get these plebs to read somehow.
Camden Thomas
Rude.
You could've at least said hi back
Christian Edwards
Should I promise them bestiality later too? (although that never happens)
Jordan Miller
>swimming in your underwear
why would anyone do this
Samuel Roberts

John Evans

Michael Howard

Ryder Collins

Alexander Rodriguez
Other than this first issue, I don't think Killian has been drawn this dark ever since. In fact, both characters have gotten lighter
Brayden Allen
In both character and appearance, huh
Elijah Kelly
...
Adam Moore
She was definitely in "break your arms" mode in this issue
Elijah Gray
L. Ron Hubbard and her racially and sexually diverse enforcers!
Logan Roberts
Hey, look at all these Vertigo titles that no one has heard of since they all sell less than 5K copies each month (including this one).
This is the only ad I'll be showing
Easton Sanchez
It looks like they sent a draft out to as many horror writers as they could think of for a title pull quote
Josiah Ward
...
Joseph Sanchez
Oh man, I forgot about the psycho Asian chick somehow.
Justin Hill
...
Owen Russell
Her actions in the second set of issues are hilarious
Elijah Cox
Come to think of it, I don't think the Black Rook ever gets a name
Colton Fisher
If you haven't realized it yet, this are "definitely not" scientologists
Adam Richardson
...
Christopher Baker
Time for the auditing, including Simone's sexual stuff
Owen King
...
Xavier Foster
...
Christopher White
Does having a labia ring make you kinky? No wonder someone in that room wanted to screw her.
Grayson Rivera
I just noticed they have Todd Klein on lettering. Good to see he still does some work
Asher Anderson
Well that was fast. I expected that to take a bit longer to see their clean room
Dylan Parker
There's actually a pretty brisk pace, given that I think DC knew that the new Vertigo titles might take off
Kevin Robinson
It's really what's inside that the plot is about.
Hudson Wilson
Fuck off meme spewer
Lincoln Evans
I just read some of Moore's swamp thing last night, not realizing that the "white monkeys" in this could be a reference to one of his early stories
Liam Green
Thanks for the bump
Carter Myers
...
Owen Howard
...
Matthew Campbell
I don't think Chole realizes just how out of her league this entire business is.
Charles Russell
...
Robert Jones
Seriously, the money this bitch has is gonna make 'destroying' this place pretty hard.
Jason Green
...
Oliver Powell
...
Connor Cruz
Draw the street sign, I haven't had that one yet...
John Sanders
I really like these covers
Noah Russell
That's what he gets
His mother warned him
Asher Myers
...
Owen Ross
Angry, thirsty lesbians even.
Daniel Gutierrez
...
Zachary Lee
What I kind of got from that is that Simone might have a thing for brown women
Aaron Foster
Great, now what fucked up serial killer is Astrid auditing...
Brody Rivera
...
Ethan Rivera
The neighbours. So dumb, so nice.
Henry Garcia
Unfollow is the only one still going isn't it?
Frostbite is a really good comic by Vertigo standards, I hope it lasts.
Jaxson Martin
Jet fuel can't melt steel beams
Ryan Gray
This protagonist is a fucking idiot.
Camden Ward
I think Unfollow is solicited until #17 at least, same as Clean Room. It could just be usual solicitation hyperbole, but it sounds like it's part one of a two part finale for Clean Room. Given that each copy sells less thank 5000 units, I'm not too suprised. I'll look into Frostbite
Jacob Rivera
Thankfully she realizes that shortly
Joshua Richardson
This design is pretty lame
Christopher Hill
Those boys sure are sturdy
William Robinson
This guy's design really reminds me of that one Authority:Kev miniseries, with the monster that kept repeating "I am a Vagina!"
Jaxon Fisher
Not-Scientology's reach is wide
Killian is already looking much whiter than before, even though she still has the mullet thing
Jacob Myers
Now we return to audit
Brandon Thomas
...
Jaxon King
>Ending it at #18
Nooo! It has to go to at least 25.
Jace Mitchell
This is the first sign, maybe besides the haircut, that Killian is very thirsty
Landon Kelly
It's good to see that they learned their lessons from Alien
Lincoln Edwards
...
Brody Gray
(aka the dude who ran her over, if you missed the name earlier)
John Nguyen
Huh, most of this issue will end up being spoiler-tagged
Isaac Parker
It's a very Stephen King design to me.
Juan James
...
Anthony Rodriguez
So, we're not going to see what was in the bathroom stall?
And why was gas-guy suddenly assaulting her?
Dylan Lewis
Astrid's supposed to be in her mid to late 30s, but the art never really gives that away
I think gas guy was just an angry person, but given one of the themes of the story is emotional manipulation, something could have been bugging him
Lincoln Murphy
Simone and her perv's
Nathan Watson
...
Nicholas Gutierrez
...
Josiah Young
Is the cloudbuster the clean room?
William Garcia
Yes, the scar is a thing
It appears before the end of the trade....and is kind of disappointing
Anthony Fisher
I think the equivalent to this would be Tom Cruise denouncing scientology then killing himself
Ian Parker
...
Dylan King
...
Joshua Green
They fixed that door pretty quickly
Sebastian Perez
...
Jaxson Allen
...
Kayden Cruz
I like these guys!
They're gonna die horribly aren't they?
Matthew Lee
This guy is sounding a little like
Camden Lee
>Nice southern ginger men
Foursome when?!
Much dick!
Noah Johnson
