Gabriel Rodriguez's artwork is stupendous this time around again. His energy and understanding of the characters is on every page, and he works hard to play with different angles so readers aren't looking at the same kind of picture or view each time. The environment is interesting, spooky, and foreboding all at once, and I love it. You can actually see how the movie should look in these pages.

Joe's first page of the new comic is a riot. It's a page taken from Bode's homework, and it retells everything the family has been through up to this point. His mom believes the part about him becoming a ghost when he went through one of the house's doors is just a fabrication. We know better because we saw this happen to Bode in the last issue. In case you forgot, we see Bode in ghost-form watching his mom and his uncle talking about him while they're sitting out on the veranda.

I love how Joe is slowly parsing out the information and background of the house. I don't want to know everything all at once, and he's not a storyteller that dumps everything on you and doesn't keep surprises or twists to himself. Things are wild and weird in this series, and I've gotten totally wrapped up in the world and the characters.

The monster at the bottom of the wellhouse is going to mean a lot of trouble. I really enjoyed the subtle way Joe and Gabriel revealed her evil nature to the reader through the mirror sequence. That was a grabber once I saw it, and it doesn't hit you between the eyes. If you're not paying attention you'll miss it.

I also like the way that Sam Lesser, one of the teens that killed Rendell, remains a threat to the family. Especially when the monstrous lady at the bottom of the well speaks to him and offers him a key to get out of the sanitarium where he's being held.

With everything going on, I can't wait till the next issue. I'm just glad it's only a month away. If you haven't picked up this great series, you're missing out on some groundbreaking horror.
