    I still have a lot to think about The Deviant and the themes it explores.

Monsters may not exist in the world, but others deem some humans monstrous. Read Full Review

    The Deviant #4 is a great chapter in a series written with deftness and rendered with great care. The Deviant continues to be a great character study that plunges us into the darkness of the human soul. Read Full Review

    The Deviant #4 elevates the series back toward the same intensity seen in the first issue. Theres meaningful advancement in the story. At the same time, Tynion maintains the overall troubled mood. And most importantly, he adds dimension to the main character. The issue is well timed to reinvigorate the series. Read Full Review
