Tyler Jenkins delivers some impressive visuals in this issue. The art is very stylized to showcase the characters and the noir nature of the story. A great looking issue with some visceral moments that are surprising. Read Full Review

Fear Case mixes your typical police thriller with a horror tale that's anything but. It's equal parts exciting and disturbing, which makes for a great combination. It's like a Lovecraftian version of True Detective. Read Full Review

Fear Case Issue: 2 Publisher: @darkhorsecomics Writer: @matt.kindt.for.real Artist: @tylerjenkinsprojects Colorist: @hilary.jenkins.art Editors: @nottochabyy & Chuck Howitt Secret Service agents Winters and Mitchum continue their investigation and search for the mysterious horror box known as the "Fear Case," that plagues those whoever foolishly decide to open it. Their newest lead puts them on the brink of possibly solving the uncrackable case. However, time is not on their side as their time on the case nears its end. They are going to witness first hand how horrific and dangerous this “Fear Case” really is. Wow this issue was FANTASTIC! From the amazing writing to the horrific imagery, this issue definitely has i t all. I am now ALL-IN on this story. The rules of the Fear Case are great and it absolutely keeps me on the edge of my seat with every page turn. There’s a reason as to why partners have only a certain time working the case of the Fear Case. Agents Mitchum and Winters are becoming obsessed with it. As am I! What’s in the case!?!? I definitely got tv show vibes as I read through this issue. When this issue ended, I felt like I was seeing credits of a show right when it was getting good! It definitely kept me wanting more! The artwork takes some getting used to but I definitely enjoyed it and it didn’t take away from the fantastic rating this books deserves.

I liked it alot. Definitely the type of stuff i like. Its like the x-files in certain aspects. Good mystery crime sci fi book. I do think it could benefit from a little more refined art though.
