    That's Not Current - Glenn Miller Jan 18, 2017

    Overall, this is building up to be a surprisingly fun, and even more intellectually challenging work than just watching people being eaten, though that too is something to look forward to for gore fans. Read Full Review

    I am certainly looking forward to seeing the rest of this story unfold and I'm hoping you're following along with me. This is a great title and I hope a lot of you are going to go out to your local comic book shop to buy it. It definitely deserves to have eyes on it. Read Full Review

    Nerdly - Dean Fuller Jan 19, 2017

    The artwork by Conor Boyle is very readable, and he has a skill for cramming a lot of detail into small panels but not making them feel overcrowded. There is also a nice blend of several panel pages, with some full page panels, mixing things up nicely. Although technique and composition are always strong, the only minor gripe is that faces, and facial expressions, are a little on the weak side. Overall though, very good. Read Full Review

    All in all, still great quirky, funny, and nightmarish at the same time. I cant wait to see where this series goes. Read Full Review

    Issue #2 piles on the issues for the human stars of the series – but really, can we get some of them eaten soon? – and also gives further insight into the Virgin Brides and Hook Jaw, but it does feel like rather forced interaction between the two species at the moment. Read Full Review

    Big Comic Page - Chris Downs Jan 18, 2017

    I honestly cant quite work out who this reboot is aimed at, as its too slapdash to make an impression on long-term fans but also lacks the gory excess for the younger readers looking for the illicit thrills of the original. A wasted opportunity. Read Full Review
