Love the blurring of fact, fiction, and scifi going on in this series. However, in this issue especially, Hickman demonstrates that horror is always horrifying regardless of whether it is fact or fiction. Great stuff here and remarkable artwork. I'm a particular fan of how Pitarra captures a mood with simple block colors across panels.
