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.
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

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.
This issue has one of the best covers with some of the weakest story. It's not bad, it just moves a bit too quickly with a coming to terms cave moment that doesn't hit the way it should. I would have preferred to go straight to the bears scene and got a little more on the back end. I still enjoyed it though.
After a tense issue #4 we get a good issue, but lacked a good escalation from last issue.
