I have read so many graphic novels. Some better than others in story or art. Leaning more towards the horror genre. Always waiting for those great and different from the rest. Severed has a different story and great art that I enjoyed.
The story circles around a young boy with a misguided past looking for his father in the early 1900s and a mysterious and creepy cannibal monster that targets kids. Choosing them by their talents.
I hope theres more books to this series.

Severed is a cautionary tale for aspiring musicians and other dreamers. It's important that we have this kind of text available to warn young people from pursuing answers to questions and chasing a satisfying life. Without texts like these, children might believe that they can trust adults and one another, which we all know is dangerously not true.

This book could make a good mother's day gift if your mother was into horror comics because there is a secondary theme that you should appreciate your mom if you got a good one.

Lovely, to be completely honest. This book had: story, plot development, a great start/ending, gripping suspense, gore, love? and it has amazing art to top it off. Not my favorite because this does have it's problems, but it was worth a read. If you want a start-out, gory comic: this is it.

This is a great book. The art is amazing. Great use of colors. It really fits it's time setting well. But to me the real standout it is Snyder's writing. This is a great story about a child discovering the existence of evil. The villain is one of the best that I have seen in this format. I also found the story perfectly plotted.

I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a horror graphic novel to read.

I love these horror graphic novels. Exactly what I was looking for. I need more like this!
Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2015
I don't consider myself a horror fan, but Snyder's work makes you care about the characters in their situations and throws in some twists. The fact that he doens't name the antagonist something generic adds some suspense as you don't know what to expect all of the time. I really enjoyed this book.
Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2022
This was one creepy graphic novel. Take one supernatural, kid eating, serial killer and put him on the loose and you have terrors galore. If that sentence disturbs you... Don't pick up this book. If it intrigues you... then by all means, take your chances.
The book had a great story line with awesome drawings and terrific characterization. Recommended to give a good scare.
Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2020
Honestly, I was expecting a little more from this than what I got. The art was good, but not exactly for me. Some of the pages were all but unseeable because of how dark they were. The story felt like it dragged on and didn't get interesting to me until the last chapter or two. I am sad to say that I didn't enjoy this, as I have enjoyed other Scott Snyder series. I will certainly be passing it on to someone else though.

5.0 out of 5 stars Buy it if you like intelligent horror and beautiful artwork!
Reviewed in Canada on February 4, 2015
Just for being written by Scott Snyder I put 5 stars on it, enough said. If you don't know his work I recommend to begin with Severed, as it shows, in my opinion, the best of him. Whenever I decide to get a new graphic novel I ensure that the artwork is good, as for me this is the main reason to think to reread a graphic novel. Compared with normal books, graphic novels are amazing for this plus, you can surely get as much fun rereading in ther 2nd, 3rd and so on time than a book, at least this is how this works for me. The plot itself is fantastic, I was seeking for a good horror story without being about vampires or zombies, as this seems to the the trend nowadays, if you feel the same this is the story you're looking for.The artwork is FANTASTIC, I adore it, and for less than $12 for a graphic novel with 180+ pages, this is a must buy. Definitely one of my top 10 favourite graphic novels!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fumetto atipico, dark e brutale
Reviewed in Italy on July 3, 2014
Severed è stato una piacevole sorpresa.
E' uno di quei fumetti d'autore che sfoggiano tavole simili ad affreschi, che dipingono un periodo di storia americana cupo e triste come quello della grande depressione che fa da sfondo ad una storia di speranze e di uno dei serial killer più mostruosi, improbabili e terribili che siano mai stati trattati in un fumetto.
Ho ordinato e apprezzato la versione inglese del fumetto, l'ho letteralmente divorato fino all'agghiacciante finale.
Un piccolo gioiello che chiunque (appassionati di fumetti e non) dovrebbe leggere.
Consigliatissimo.
