Comic Bastards - Nick Philpott
Oct 08, 2014Dead Letters is five-for-five so far, gang, and this issue is a great jumping on point. It's basically an entirely new "mission" for Sam, and it fills you in on the salient points of his backstory so that you won't be adrift. If you read it and decide you want to go back further, or if you're a start-from-the-beginning kind of person (I feel you, there), the first trade just came out and it's lovely. Buy them both. Buy them all. You won't regret it. Read Full Review

Oct 08, 2014Dead Letters #5 provides an interesting new story arc with a whole new set of problems piled on top of Sam's existing problems. Sebela, Visions, and Battaglia continue building the world of Here and add an interesting Inception-like concept to a specific area of the world. However, the lettering makes it a little difficult to read. Read Full Review

Major Spoilers - Ashley Victoria Robinson
Oct 11, 2014Dead Letters #5 is really, really interesting. Sebela, Vision and everyone else working on the issue is clever and have put forward a great story, but it honestly is supported by a preexisting knowledge of the roles and regulations of Here. Read Full Review
