  You Don't Read Comics - Russ Bickerstaff

  There is, of course, the real danger of the series becoming kind of silly once the full reality of the horror becomes fully revealed. A story that relies this heavily on the substance of mystery is GOING to run that risk as things progress. Two issues in, though, and the story still feels quite compelling. The three central characters feel engaging enough. There's already a sense of survival after the second issue. If the heroes managed to win out at the end of this particular series, it could really feel like a huge triumph. Read Full Review

  AIPT - David Brooke

  Of the Earth #2 takes the foundation laid by the debut issue and elevates nearly every aspect of it. Condon expertly balances emotional drama, mystery, and mounting dread as Tabby searches for answers that only seem to lead to more terrifying questions. The parallels between her grandmother's condition and the larger horrors unfolding around them add a layer of humanity to the story, grounding the supernatural elements in something painfully relatable. Adlard's artwork remains a masterclass in pacing and visual storytelling, allowing fear to build naturally through expressions, silence, and carefully controlled reveals. By the time the issue reaches its final pages, the series has transformed from an intriguing horror mystery into one of the most unsettling books on shelves. The monster may remain elusive, but the fear it leaves behind is impossible to ignore. Read Full Review

  Finding the right mix of anticipation and exposition can be difficult, particularly for horror stories. The first issue of this limited series got it right. But now it feels a bit long in the tooth. Read Full Review
