Review:

The third volume of the new Creepshow comics has arrived and it delivers anew but not in the same creepy way the two previous volumes did.

Ten new dreadful stories by different artists and writers are collected with a variety of levels of horror.

Going from taking mushrooms that awakens a cosmic mother feeling to a Trigger Warning that leads to certain death, a sleepover with teethy results and a comic book collector’s deadly obsession… But also a story told about an ancient storytelling creature and an unsatiable thirst for the end of the story… Beauty can be a dangerous quest to seek, as well as looking for a body in a place you shouldn’t be! Wanting to be invincible and having that wish granted means making sure you be careful what you wish for and how you formulate the wish… And then finally there’s a haunted house and a cursed date…

As I said, this collection was somewhat less terrifying as the previous two instalments have been but there are still some very good stories in this one as well. Maybe they should ask some bigger names in horror writing land to write some creepy scripts in the future. (I’m thinking of Joe Hill, Stephen Graham Jones, Adam Cesare, Adam Neville…. a lot to choose from!) One thing should be really clear: I think the art in these collections is on point and differs enough with each story so you understand a new tale has begun. But the stories could be a little longer in my opinion (thinking back to the original Creepshow comic where some tales were longer than two combined in this collection!)

No, it will never be Stephen King but damn, there are some great writers and artists out there. And yes, I am looking forward to a new instalment in this series!
