Earth godzilla atomic breath8/8/2023 I’ve liked all the books in this shared universe so far, and with this one, I’m really appreciating the variety in the types of narratives they’re tackling. Then, of course, the book trades largely in mystery, not revealing much of anything that’s going on here or why, but serving up plenty of top-tier horror visuals. It works well, with the titular Tenement as a nice anchor for the storytelling.

So far, the connections between these stories have been as subtle and mysterious as the horror in the books itself. This week’s lead review is Bone Orchard Mythos – Tenement #1, which expands Jeff Lemire and Andrea Sorrentino’s ongoing horror shared universe.
