The Dress will make you a bit hesitant to go to the nearest store during a sale.

Impressive art, a unique story and plenty of cool fights, Jack Frost seems less like a horror manhwa and more akin to an action manhwa. However, don’t be fooled; every page of Jack Frost is tarrying thanks to the various creatures the manhwaga Go Jin-Ho uses in the story. Horror doesn’t always have to be pure fear and Jack Frost shows that. The draw you’ll walk away with is a scary but cool action horror story that truly reinvents the genre. The worst we had to deal with in High School was occasionally hearing the urban legend of a ghost at night wandering the halls…imagine if that was real?

Miho learns that Pan aims to do only one thing on this disturbed Island, destroy every single demon he can.

Seriously, poor Miho can’t get a break. In Island, the horror is driven into a fast paced story of demon killing proportions. The best element aside from the cool characters and fast story comes from the incredible art helmed by Yang, Kyung-il who does an incredible job. Island’s story is not to be tossed aside though, Yoon, In-Wan made sure to keep reader’s attentions on the great dialogue and cleverly written characters. Island basically is really just a great horror manhwa and we would be crazy to have left it off the list.
