Backways is a new age, gothic, horror-romance that features a pair of feisty teens out to find their missing girlfriend. While the series’ artwork is wonderful and the characters are charming, the story suffers from too much jargon and hidden exposition to be as fluid as it needs to be. At the moment, the franchise does seem to have a lot of potential, but it still needs more time to get off the ground. Until then, I’ll give it a pass.
