QUICK REVIEW: 'W0rldTr33' continues to be one of the best horror titles of the year with a blood-soaked sci-fi tech thriller that is truly chilling. By its own standards, this issue's body count is low but still consequential and a twist you never saw coming. The threat of the Undernet is cleverly depicted and even coming out of its mental control looks painful. James Tynion IV's recipe for horror works on two fronts here, one with mind control and one with the psychotic naked killer PH34R. As a reader, you're never at ease because you don't know where the next kill is coming from. Characters are fleshed out further as they come together. Fernando Blanco and Jordie Bellaire do an extraordinary job of designing a dark and eerie atmosphere on every page. 

'W0rldTr33' is a tightly written and atmospheric tale of terror made for the internet age.
