    Cullen Bunn kicks this story off in style and gets right to the throat. The concept of monsters coming into the real world from movie screens isn't a new one. But as I always say. It is how the writer frames the story that counts and Bunn frames his story really well. I'm quite looking forward to the second issue of this. Read Full Review

    All in all, this is a hell of a fun and spooky comic. If youre a fan of classic monsters, and fun stories, this is definitely a comic to add to your pull list. So in the spirit (pun intended) of the season, light that pumpkin candle, pour a seasonal beverage, and enjoy this classic/not classic monster story! Read Full Review

    Bunn has put together a very layered tale that draws you into the lives of a lot of characters that you want to follow almost all of them to see more of before things go crazy. That's not easy to do and so many creators fall very short in this regard. But Bunn infuses amazing life into his works with a cast like this. Hurtt and Campbell take it to a whole other level with the design and color work so that it's incredibly rich and distinctive as we get the modern tale and an array of views of different periods and types of monsters with their settings.
