Sam's foe was quick and mighty cleverNow Sam must skip town, maybe forever. The town doesn't trust her, they think she's the one. So Sam's on her own, and alone she must run. But maybe, just maybe, she'll learn in the wild. And return to that town, to face the devil child.
As we head into the final chapter next month, and what promises to be something of a reckoning for all concerned, it's worth reiterating just how fantastic this series has been from start to finish. In blending two seemingly disparate genres, Horvath has certainly baited his hook effectively, but this high-concept premise would be wasted without a thoroughly compelling story at its heart, and in that respect Horvath has delivered in spades. Samantha Strong is an utterly compelling protagonist, and this series serves as yet another unmitigated triumph for IDWs Original imprint. Absolutely mesmerizing. Read Full Review
The story of fertility and domestication comes to a head in Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees #5, where Sam must choose how to respond to evidence she's a killer. A sociopath and killer by all accounts, this story continues to show what a killer is at their most primal. Read Full Review

I think we can all see where this is going.
The art is so good that even when the story isn't at its strongest, this is a pleasure to read.
Very well written comic, excited to see how this ends.
After a tense issue #4 we get a good issue, but lacked a good escalation from last issue.
