    Cullen Bunn is tuned into the social conscious in this story. He takes us on a journey where the trappings of being better really get skewed. This tale is the perfect ending note on what is a very inciteful issue. Read Full Review

    Every chapter is gruesome, and nearly every chapter is memorable, and horror fans owe it to themselves to check it out. Read Full Review

    Cruel Universe #3 is another good anthology edition with four stories blending sci-fi and horror well. Frankly, I wonder if there's too much horror steeped in these tales since EC Comics has an anthology devoted to horror, but at least each tale takes a unique angle on science fiction.

    'We drown on earth' was doing heavy lifting this issue. My goodness was that a fun story. Aqua horror is something I really enjoy so it was an easy win for me 9/10.

    Behave was interesting and I didnt know how to rate it, but I did enjoy it, a bit of an anti-climatic but feel good ending. 7.5/10

    Automated felt...weaker? Not sure how to even explain that. Just the weakest of the bunch. 6.5/10

    Deleted Man was kind of horror but I found it rather funny instead. I mean dude was screwed but as the reader it was an fun story. 7/10

    I personally wasn't as enamoured with this issue like I was with the first two. It's got some entertainment value, but the stories didn't feel as punchy as the ones before.
