Plunge (Hill House Comics) by Joe Hill
4.0
There was a lot I liked about this, and the art is 5/5, but I do feel like the plot was a little lacking in places. There were so many excellent elements to this story that were really working for me, but they weren't tied together as well as I would have liked. Like what is the ingot? Where did it come from? And all the math stuff seemed like it could have mattered more because it was creepy at first and then didn't really go anywhere. With more planning some of these details could have added way more depth to the story.
I know I often complain that Joe Hill's long stories are too long and his short stories are too short, but this is another one I could have easily kept reading. I could have spent more time with the characters and the lore of this universe, and I definitely would have loved more creepy monsters. I think there was a lot of potential here, so it's a shame it's just one volume and he didn't spend more time fleshing it out.
