**Book Review: Behemoth #1**
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
What a gripping start to a series! *Behemoth #1* instantly pulls readers into a high-stakes, claustrophobic nightmare as Sara and her fellow bus passengers fight for survival inside a massive, monstrous entity. The sheer originality of the premise—being trapped within the belly of a city-destroying creature—is thrilling, and the storytelling makes excellent use of suspense, urgency, and horror to keep the tension razor-sharp.
### **Writing & Storytelling**
Grant Sputore and Ryan Engle, both well-versed in cinematic storytelling, translate their blockbuster monster-movie expertise seamlessly into the comic medium. The pacing is impeccable, balancing character-driven moments with pulse-pounding action. What makes *Behemoth #1* stand out is its ability to weave an engaging mystery alongside the monster-horror spectacle—Sara and the passengers must unravel what lurks within the beast before time runs out.
### **Artwork & Atmosphere**
Jay Martin’s artwork adds another layer of immersion, bringing the unsettling world within Behemoth to life with eerie, visceral visuals. The creature’s insides feel oppressive and alien, a living labyrinth that is both fascinating and terrifying. Every panel intensifies the feeling of being trapped, making the comic a true cinematic experience on paper.
### **Final Thoughts**
This first issue wastes no time in hooking the reader, delivering an adrenaline-fueled thrill ride with rich storytelling and visually stunning art. With only four issues in the series, it’s clear that every moment will be packed with tension, and I can’t wait to see what horrifying surprises await in the next installment. If you love monster horror and survival thrillers, *Behemoth* is shaping up to be a must-read.
Happy reading 🦖📚

I really like the detup of this person's life. working at an Amazon. has a food truck too. still has no money.
them a kaiju strikes. it was an exciting chase scene.
then they end up in the belly of the beast. the art abd colours were not great.

Incredible action and introduction of the creature. I also really enjoyed the lead character and would like to see where they go with her story
