Book Review: Meh...
Summary: 3 Stars
I'm having a difficult time deciding how I feel about this comic.I enjoyed Dying Inside, mainly because Troy's foray into Silent Hill was probably the most psychological of the comics and was the only one that seemed to TRY to stay true to the games. But the last three issues were pretty different, and I was upset about that because they could have developed Troy's story and it would have been better.
Much. Better.
This one seems, at least to me, to seem to capture the feeling of Silent Hill- gloomy areas, disturbing creations- but it doesn't capture the story of the games. I don't want a rehash of Silent Hill 2 (best of them all, IMO) but I wanted something that stayed true to that feeling, and I don't seem to be getting it here. Christabella is a decent character, albeit a foul mouthed little girl, but she doesn't have enough potential to her, enough interest to hold me that much. Keep in mind I'm not entirely all the way through the story... not even close, really, but I'm getting a first impression and it's not a great one. Not terrible, but not great.
I don't know, maybe I should finish it first, but if you're a die-hard Silent Hill fan, like me, you've probably already picked it up just because you love the series so much and want it all. But, for the love of God, fire Scott Ciencin and the new artist and get Ben Templesmith back. Please.
