If you thought fashion school was stressful, try balancing sketching, critiques, and... murder.

I Was a Fashion School Serial Killer, the horror comic from Doug Wagner and Daniel Hillyard, throws readers into the darkly glamorous world of Rennie Bethary: a brilliant fashion student with a deadly "condition."

Equal parts high-stakes runway drama and macabre horror, this Image Comics series is perfect for anyone who loves fashion, dark humour, and stories with a deliciously twisted edge.

Others cling to you like a second skin, sometimes, quite literally.

I Was a Fashion School Serial Killer is one of those.

It's a darkly stylish cocktail of horror, satire, and fashion-world melodrama, strutting onto the page dripping in blood, sequins, and gallows humour.

Rennie Bethary has just been accepted into New York City's most prestigious fashion school. She's talented, driven... and, unfortunately, a serial killer with a stress-induced "condition" that makes her homicidal urges impossible to ignore.

Here's the twist: Rennie doesn't waste her victims. She repurposes them into couture creations. Call it sustainable fashion if your definition of sustainability includes bloodbaths and bone accessories.

Doug Wagner (Plastic, Vinyl) and Daniel Hillyard expertly balance grotesque horror with glossy camp. Rennie feels like the love child of Elizabeth Bathory, Wednesday Addams, and a Project Runway finalist who took "make it work" just a little too far.

But the real draw isn't just the gore (though there's plenty of that). It's the tone. This isn't a bleak, nihilistic slasher.

It's wickedly funny, stylish, and self-aware. The satire skewers fashion-school drama, mean girls, and reality TV divas with the same precision Rennie reserves for her blades.

You'll laugh, you'll cringe, and you'll secretly root for someone you absolutely shouldn't.

Hillyard's art perfectly captures the comic's world, blending chic runway polish with splashes of grotesque detail.

Rennie's wardrobe evolves alongside her character arc, moving from guarded and withdrawn to daring and bold, each outfit a reflection of who she's becoming.

Wagner's writing ensures the supporting cast, bubbly best friends, smug professors, perfectly poisonous rivals, feel like characters you've passed in a dorm hallway or watched dominate America's Next Top Model.

If you like your horror with a side of glamour, your fashion with a splash of blood, and your serial killers more charming than they have any right to be, I Was a Fashion School Serial Killer deserves a place on your pull list.

So yes, this comic may be "to die for." Just... maybe don't ask Rennie where she sources her leather.

If you love horror comics with dark humour, killer wardrobes, and protagonists you'll root for even when you shouldn't, I Was a Fashion School Serial Killer is an absolute must-read.
