Ellison has fallen deeper into the Undernet than he ever could have imagined. Now the life of one of his closest friends hangs in the balance...and PH34R is winning.

Strap in as multiple Eisner Award-winning writer JAMES TYNION IV (THE DEPARTMENT OF TRUTH) and FERNANDO BLANCO (Detective Comics) chart new frontiers of horror!

Score:

★★★★☆ (4/5)

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.

And now they are coming home. Score:  ★★★★1/2 (4.5/5) Few things can pique the interest of a comic book reader like a good ole conspiracy thriller. The latest example is the excellent new series from James Tynion IV and Martin Simmonds entitled 'The Department of Truth' that's been a bestseller for Image Comics. It proposes conspiracy theories can be all-too-real and for Jeff Lemire, Andrea Sorrentino, and Dave St...
