Book Reviews of Silent Hill: Dying Inside
Book Review: 2.5 Stars... Not terrible, but not great...
Summary: 2 Stars
The twists were okay. There were some decent ideas wrapped in here.
The writing style of the dialogue can be a bit iffy in certain spots, but what comics don't have this problem? The speedy pace is what I have more problem with. This author jumps from point to point a little too quickly for my taste. It's very hyperactive and doesn't flesh out very many details. Usually, in comic books, this is completely fine, because the artwork gives most of the detail... But this brings me to my next point: The art is mostly very stylish, however, it can be difficult to tell what's happening at many points because it's so blurred and scribbled. (This problem is mostly in the last few issues, since a new artist was brought on board.) The choppy writing and stylishly incomprehensible art combine for an aesthetically pleasing, but conceptually confusing read.
The mood and attitude stray a little from what Silent Hill works usually bring. This is the type of thing that would be better if it wasn't labeled as a Silent Hill piece. As it is, it works fairly well though. It adds new elements and tries new things. It works well enough in this comic, but I definitely wouldn't use the plot for another game or movie... It just doesn't fit well enough.
Give it a read if you're curious, but don't expect a story that's much like anything we've seen in the games or movie.
