Cut off from the chaos of the coasts, they think they can ride out the storm. But fire chief Lonnie Fry knows better. The creatures that hunt by sound are coming west, and unless the people of Pearl take drastic action, silence won't save them - it'll bury them.
From legendary creators Phil Hester (Green Arrow, Swamp Thing) and Ryan Kelly (Lucifer, Local) comes the first-ever A Quiet Place comic series - an untold chapter of fea

Capes & Tights - Justin Soderberg
Mar 08, 2026Phil Hester and Ryan Kelly seamlessly bring a new suspenseful and horrify story into the A Quiet Place franchise with A Quiet Place: Storm Warning. While we don’t get much of what horrors lie within the alien invasion, we do get the horrors of any town USA’s inner politics and a families fight for survival. Read Full Review

AIPT - David Brooke
Jan 23, 2026As a first issue, Storm Warning succeeds by resisting spectacle in favor of tension and theme. It understands that A Quiet Place isn't just about monsters, but about people ignoring alarms until it's too late. This opening chapter sets the stage thoughtfully, builds anxiety with purpose, and ends on a note that makes the silence feel anything but safe. A Quiet Place: Storm Warning proves that in a world where silence is survival, denial may be the loudest mistake of all. Read Full Review

Jan 28, 2026It seems only like yesterday that IDW Publishing announced IDW Dark, a horror-based imprint to capitalize on the booming popularity of horror comics. The imprint became the new home for books like IDWs hit series Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees, as well as licensed tie-in comics for series like The Twilight Zone and Event Horizon. Now, IDW Publishing is expanding its imprint with A Quiet Place: Storm Warning by Phil Hester (Swamp Thing, Green Arrow) and Ryan Kelly (Lucifer, Local). This tie-in story does a fantastic job adding to the universe while working as a gripping, original narrative. Read Full Review

Comic Crusaders - Al Mega
Mar 10, 2026A Quiet Place: Storm Warning #1 is a smart, nerve-wracking expansion of the franchise that proves the concept works beautifully in comics. Phil Hester delivers a tense story about human denial in the face of disaster, while Ryan Kelly’s artwork injects the pages with creeping dread. Instead of relying on constant monster action, the issue lets the suspense simmer and that slow build makes every moment feel dangerous. Horror fans and franchise followers alike are going to want to grab this one before the silence gets broken. Read Full Review

Comic Watch - Tyler Davis
Jan 28, 2026A Quiet Place: Storm Warning #1is a worthy continuation of the cinematic franchise in comic book form. While it may not live up to the atmospheric tension of the first film, it does a great job immediately ingratiating readers into a family drama that is anything but quiet. Read Full Review

Get Your Comic On - Aaron Gillingham
Mar 11, 2026Though it is carried by its artwork and has some genuine moments of adrenaline-filled suspense, Storm Warning ultimately falls short in accurately translating the same level of edge-of-your-seat tension that is found in the films. Read Full Review
