Overall the art is fine and works well, but I wanted a bit more "Horror" than what I got with this issue. I wanted to burn at the touch of this book (for those that get that), yet my hands were left as cold as ever. This is my first Stine work, but I fear the writing is ... just not for me. That said, and truthfully, I am struggling to decide if my lack of enjoyment is due to the writing and dialog itself or the fact that I am so unhappy with the tone of the book. That the element of horror that I desired is absent within these pages and I am judging everything on that feeling. Sadly, I think it's a little of both.

The ending ... THE ENDING!!! Amazing how one panel can totally save an issue. Now I say that with respect, but I honestly haven't been "wowed" by this mini like I have been "wowed" by the other titles in the Black Hammer Universe, but the ending made me so happy, put such a smile on my face, that it propelled this entire series into a higher enjoyment level for me.
