Really well executed and great illustrations. I really enjoyed the creative story elements. However a few stars were knocked off due to some continuity mishaps. This was one of those rare times where I guessed the ending, which arguably makes it a bit predictable, overall though a strong story and a very entertaining horror read.
Moderate: Body horror, Violence, Murder, and Death
Minor: Cursing and Vomit

This is one that had potential for five stars, and feels squandered to deserve three.
This idea, this prose-writer, this art: it's already there! It feels like they got in their own way, and I'm wondering if the format for the releases of this as a comixology exclusive launch are to blame, as the periodic release schedule/size is SO OFTEN to blame when a collection's greatest failure is the pace and attentiveness of the story. Writing and editorial decisions kept this from being the horrifying success it could've been. But, for all my belly-aching, it was still a pretty good read.

Spoiler
In the span of two pages, the kid is told by both parents to not leave the car, hangs up on everyone and runs out of the car into the unfamiliar raining night, falls into an open grave, tries and fails to climb out, sees a glow from beneath the grave and decides to wriggle through the rain-soaked mud in the bottom of the open grave downwards towards the glow. This awful sequence is emblematic of the decisions that plague this story: too much happens in not enough time, and a lot of what's happening is silly and unrelated to the actual story we're all interested in.woolybug's review

Great art, good premise, probably should've been longer than six issues but it still works.

Creepy with some ghastly visuals and good ending. 3.5 not quite a solid 4 for me.
