Fan-favorite Gail Simone's (BATGIRL, WONDER WOMAN) debut Vertigo series begins here!

Journalist Chloe Pierce had no idea that her fiancé Philip's decision to pick up a book by enigmatic and compelling self-help guru Astrid Mueller would change her life forever-by ending his! Three months after reading Mueller's book, Philip had blown his brains out all over Chloe's new kitchen-and something in that book made him do it.

Now, Chloe will stop at nothing as she attempts to infiltrate Mueller's clandestine organization to find the truth behind Philip's suicide and a "Clean Room" that she's heard whispers of-a place where your deepest fears are exposed and your worst moments revealed.

Collects CLEAN ROOM #1-6.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“CLEAN ROOM gives horror a fresh, new sheen. Twisted thrills guaranteed.”
—Ian Rankin, author of the Inspector Rebus novels
 
“A haunting tale of the lethal power of the human heart—as well as the danger, mystery, and horror that hides just at the edge of sight.”
—Marjorie M. Liu, creator/writer of Monstress
 
“Simone creates an effectively eerie atmosphere as well as a intense, compelling antagonism among her characters, making for the beginnings of an absorbing psychological (and maybe supernatural) thriller.” – PopMatters
 
“…Simone and Davis-Hunt at their unhinged best.” – IGN

5.0 out of 5 stars One hell of a comic...

Having just finished the first two volumes of Crossed I asked an employee at the local comic store for advice on a new series. She pointed me to Clean Room and boy am I pleased. I received and finished the first volume today and will definitely be buying the second, once released in January.

The story line is fast paced and intriguing. The illustrations are gorgeous and it manages to remain brutal without discarding the plot as I've seen in other horror comics. A must read.

4.0 out of 5 stars OK to start, with room to grow.
Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2016

As one of the few modern Vertigo titles still getting discussed, I wanted to check out Gail Simone's newest series. While I wouldn't say I was captivated by what I read, I see great potential in this title.

The story stars Chloe Pierce, a reporter with a lot to deal with. When her fiance kills himself, Chloe turns first to despair, then to revenge. Her fiance had become involved with a group that borders between self-help classes and a scientology-level cult, led by Astrid Mueller. The series features plenty of great art and good horror, both of the psychological kind and...not the psychological kind.

Now, for flaws, the series does a lot to keep the reader in suspense as to what is actually going on, to the point where you don't really get to know a lot of the characters, or even be sure what's going on. But I don't expect this to last throught the next volume. Also, Astrid's dialogue doesn't come off quite as charismatic as the other characters seem to think it is. Hopefully, that changes.

All in all, I'm optimistic about this series.

The best adult comic book in ages. The artwork is clean, incredibly detailed and absurdly disturbing. The dialog is funny and wrong. The plot is brilliant in small and large, and rewards multiple reads. I cannot recommend this enough, and in a perfect world this would be the next HBO series.

I just find the script very compelling: Gail Simone makes every scene solid in dialogue and plot and Jon Davis-Hunt produces graphic narration which is perfect to me. Besides the mistery, the blood, and all that cool stuff the plot delivers at the end very elegantly. And is awsome.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Potential
Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2017

The artwork is both lovely and capable of being terrifying. Without going into spoilers, the concept is interesting and full of horror; sometimes delivered through art and sometimes delivered through implication. Many characters are introduced-- the two leads are both compelling and interesting, but the dozen or so side-characters can be flat and uninteresting.

The narrative and pacing can be slightly off-putting. I had to reread the beginning of the story several times to understand what was going on and the importance it had to the narrative. Maybe this is intentional, given the content of the story?

4.0 out of 5 stars Guter Einstieg, Effektheischerei zwischendrin
Reviewed in Germany on January 11, 2017
Verified Purchase
Dämonen und Teufel sind ein immer wieder gern zitiertes Thema im Horror-Genre. Der erste Band von clean room entfacht gleich mehrere davon auf unterschiedlichen Ebenen, So dass man am Ende des ersten Sammelbands noch nicht sagen kann, wie sich die Story weiterentwickelt.
Sehr gut gezeichnet, mit cleveren Dialogen und interessanten Figuren ausgestattet, bietet der Comic einem noch keine Möglichkeit, den Helden zu identifizieren.
Genau dieses Vabance-Spiel geht zwingend aber klar zu Lasten der Charaktertiefe, wodurch sich bei mir bisher das Mitfiebern und -leiden bisher in Grenzen hielt.
Band zwei erscheint demnächst, danach wird sich zeigen, wohin der Weg Clean Room führt, einstweilen für einen starken Auftakt 4 von 5!

Gail Simone at the top of her game. Great premise, compelling antagonist that's just right amount of similar to the certain brainwashing cult. The story flows at a fast but not too frantic pace and is full of surprises. Consider me totally sold on the series and unless there will be a serious dip in the quality I'll buy the following tpb's too. So far this seems like a future vertigo classic. Something we've been waiting since Scalped ended.
