    Beyond the Pale starts slow. Its in no rush to get to the horrorcertainly not at the expense of getting to know Hetta, the other characters, and the setting. Even so, Beyond the Pale #1 is a taut first issue full of tension and anticipation, and its a first issue thats worth a look by horror fans. Read Full Review

    This comic has my attention, although I think it's success will be how well the monstrous mysteries in the jungle deviate from traditional war stories. Read Full Review
