Starting out I found The Evil Within to be a little bit disorienting. If you are unfamiliar with the game you may struggle to catch up to what is actually going on. If you have, though, it comes together pretty quickly. There is a lot of information going on within these pages, and the delivery style is informative, and somehow avoids coming across as cluttering the pages. Ryan O'sullivan does well to capture the mood and run icy fingers down the back of one's brain as the details start to emerge from the darkness and make you stare into the deformed face of a gripping tale.

Based on the hit horror video game, THE EVIL WITHIN #1 is a trippy and dark opening issue that perfectly mirrors the air of the original game. However, the comic comes with its own problems as the transitions between reality and the dream state can confuse readers unfamiliar with the original game. Read Full Review

The Evil Within #1 is exactly the kind of distraction that fans of the survival horror need, doing a brilliant job of generating hype for the sequel.

As someone who has not bought or played the second game of the series, I cannot comment on how well the story is reflected in the game. However, as someone who has played the first game and is a fan of horror/gore comics, this book is a fun quick read that I think everyone will enjoy. Fans of The Evil Within will find this book a good expansion on the story and answer any questions on possible gaps in the story. Read Full Review

Overall, this is a pretty good read. As I said before, its not the greatest horror comic, but it does provide an engaging tale with solid characterization and great artwork. If psychological horror or Evil Within itself are your thing, definitely pick it up. Read Full Review

The Evil Within 2 #1 is a solid first issue that begins to build a bridge between what has happened and what is yet to come. If you're beginning to get hyped for The Evil Within 2, releasing on the 13th October, I'd recommend checking it out. In the meantime, I have a game to complete... Read Full Review

Good art from both artists makes up for a kind of stereotypical psychological thriller. Read Full Review

However, no matter how many unique flourishes the art style has, it can't elevate this comic above the level of a bridging story for a game series, and it doesn't offer enough to be of worth to anyone not invested in the games. It's a decent read, but there's no reason to read it unless you've played The Evil Within and are looking forward to The Evil Within 2. Read Full Review
