Williamson and Henderson deliver yet another amazing issue that is heavy on mystery and plot development. And this development just leads us further down the Buckaroo Rabbit Rabbit Hole. And among all the plot and mystery is the introduction of a new mystery killer via a violent attack on our two main protagonists.

Williamson proves yet again that he has a firm grasp on the horror genre. Williamson starts us off with Warren telling Carroll the disturbing origin of where he acquired his taste of blood and chewing on nails and then cuts quickly to the hospital where Carroll lays in the ICU and moves quickly into the ever twisting plot thickening.

And from there things just continue getting interesting.

I am a huge fan of Williamson's writing and his abilities to tell a scary story.
Henderson has grown since starting this series. The artwork has matured while retaining much of the original charm. Henderson is the perfect artist for this book in that his gritty style isn't over the top while still not being stock comic in feeling.

All in all I have to grade this book a solid A. The story gets deeper and more twisted with every issue and this issue is no exception.

Until next time... Remember that not know is what makes it scary.
