Eisner-winning creative team JEFF LEMIRE & ANDREA SORRENTINO continue the biggest, most essential project yet in the bold and ambitious shared horror universe of THE BONE ORCHARD MYTHOS!

    And then everybody turns away from the horror and just tries to deal with it. Its weird. The fantasy doesnt work without the mundane. Hell is other people on the inside of the tenement, but theres a whole different hell lurking outside. The real challenge for Lemire and Sorrentino moving forward is going to lie in maintaining the same kind of dichotomy between realistic emotional drama inside and the supernatural hell that rests beyond.

    Tenement is an otherworldly creepy and eerie experience, with relatable characters dealing with both realistic situations and an extremely paranormal one. The latest issue might not provide any answers to any of the questions so far, but that's to be expected in a horror story. Tenement being part of The Bone Orchard Mythos offers a slow build, setting the stage for what promises to be a tremendous and horrifying journey, drawing readers further into its enigmatic depths.

    All in all, the art of this book is nothing to write home about but regardless the story itself is very good and I think if you like horror stories this one would go nice in your collection. Read Full Review
