Dan, Ram, and Matthew have taken readers to the bottomless pits of the water in Universal Monsters Creature from the Black Lagoon Lives! Issue #4. After touching the waters of the Black Lagoon, one can never be the same again. And much like the original film, the story can only end in a tragedy. Diving into the depths can make it easy to get lost in the darkness. The absolute horror is not what we find in the darkness but in how the darkness shapes us and forces us to lose our humanity.

If there had been just a bit more going on in the visual execution of the comic book, it could have been spectacular. If there had been just a bit more originality in the monster-versus-the-real-monster-of-man sort of a thing...well...maybe it could have been a bit more inspired. All of the elements are there for a truly cool horror comic, but they dont quite get executed in the right way. Read Full Review
UNIVERAL MONSTERS: CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON LIVES! #4 ends the miniseries with a strong pace, gripping, dramatic action, and a reasonably satisfying ending that leaves room for a follow-up. Unfortunately, the poor explanation concerning Collier's "transformation lands with a thud, mirroring how Kate's hunt for a serial killer is poorly stitched into a Universal Monsters comic.

It was an ok I ending. Kind of run of the mill. Wish it was built up over more issues.
This is an average story at best. This was a complete missed opportunity. There was so much Ram V and Watters could have gone into the lore, create mystery, and more. Instead, we get a fight with a serial killer who grafts parts of a creature to himself. Where was this dead creature? Why did it not decompose? How did he sew a fin onto the back of his head? Don't know. The cartel was there just to get killed. It was all just silly. I hope other writers can do better with this IP as it deserved better than these guys.
