Close to great

This is an almost great little graphic novel from Oni. Written by Neal Shaffer with amazing art by Luca Genovese. It's the story of a new student at a boarding school where everything starts perfectly and ends up horribly wrong with her new circle of friends being murdered. I was really, really enjoying this book for the first 70-80 pages, but it just completely fell apart in the last 20. Yes, we get resolution as to who did the murder, but we don't get anything remotely near a why - other than the school has some Stonecutter like folks who meet in the basement for one page. What the...? This book definitely needed to be bigger to get a little more room to breath and tell a complete story.
