When Emma Reed journeyed back to her hometown in Alaska, she was expecting little more than a tense family reunion at the annual military alumni get together. But early that morning, a plane crash landed in the thick woods near the mountain. And the creature within brings an ancient terror to the last American frontier, and will turn this unspoiled wilderness into a killing ground.
This opening issue of Survival sets the path for another slick and entertaining addition to the Dark Horse and 12-Gauge Comics collections. It produces stand-out performances from the creative team, especially Sean Lewis, who shows the flair of a writer at the top of their game. Read Full Review
Survival #1 immediately grabs you by the throat and never lets go. Its the beginning of a fantastic horror tale that delivers shock after shock combined with a feeling of dread throughout. The lead characters are interesting and Im looking forward to the next chapter of the story. Highly recommended. Read Full Review

Survival #1 is a strange but intriguing first issue. Its not a slow-burning thriller; its a high-octane slasher that revels in violence. Some of the dialogue is clunky and uncomfortable, but this is a comic that appears to like causing discomfort. It is unflinching and unafraid, as shown by the early exchanges, and this is just the beginning of the horror. Read Full Review
Survival #1 has an interesting concept though, and where the next issue goes should really nail down the series but for a start, it's a bit of a stumble that feels like a good structure overall but the details get in the way. Read Full Review
Something about this book scares me, and it's not the clawed monsters. There is an undertone throughout that feels a little too “ripped from the headlines” familiar, in a way that pulls me out of the story and makes me worry that the survivalists are going to end up being more evil and hate-filled than the clawed creatures. It's such a cool setup that I hope I'm wrong. Read Full Review
From this juncture it doesn't really appear that Survival is doing anything that has not already been done before, but there's definitely room for surprises, which would be welcome. Read Full Review
Pretty cool Concept. The art and writing could be better. I don’t feel it was interesting enough for me to buy #2
The set up is alright, but there isn't much to go off of for the first issue. Characters will probably get more development as the series goes, but no catch an interest. The art and writing are also ok, but nothing to want to see again for a second issue.
