asifr007's review against another edition
4.0
This review contains spoilers. Please read it at your own risk. It is a graphic adaptation describing the rampage of Jason Voorhees. Spoiler alert! None survives the mayhem. I thought Sally could be the one to continue carrying the violent accounts of the night when every one of her friends at Camp Crystal Lake falls down one by one, mostly by decapitation and arrows through the head. The first time Sally survives, she is under suspicion by the local police for being responsible for the massacre. In the end, when all doubts clear out, she again finds herself under the clutches of Jason and the story continues from six months after that.

An original Friday the 13th comic book tale - well, as original as "Jason Voorhees stalks and slashes people at Camp Crystal Lake" can be, I suppose. It's a surprisingly fun read if you're a fan of the series like myself because the six issue length gives the story just enough time to breathe and develop without overstaying its welcome. The book also introduces a new wrinkle to Camp Crystal Lake's mythology that's actually pretty interesting! And the depiction of Jason is perfect; you see just enough of him to keep the story suspenseful and to make sure that each of his appearances deliver. The book has some problems - it's aged pretty badly with regards to political correctness, for sure, and the artwork is middling whenever Jason isn't on screen - but as a story alone it really surpassed my (admittedly low) expectations. High art this ain't, but Jason fans will dig it.
