★★★½

3.5 stars. Should've definitely had more Bigfoot-throwing-dead-900-pound-bears-into-cars-being-driven-by-bowtie-wearing-bespectacled-Rob-Zombie-fans shit, but was a fun enough creature feature type story overall.

[Renee · Rating 2 out of 5]

Slasher comic with next to no plot. It's hard to be invested when the characters have no depth.

my favorite bigfoot tale !!!!

Definitely a better showcase for Richard Corben's art than for the writing of Steve Niles and Rob Zombie. Why did it take two guys to write such a simplistic story, anyway?

[Buddyfede · Rating 4 out of 5]

Straight forward slasher/creature feature. Will work great as horror film, probably Rob's original idea

[Silke Jensen · Rating 1 out of 5]

This was mostly gore with little to no plot, but the gore wasn't even good?

[Robert · Rating 2 out of 5]

Bigfoot is a cartoon more than a character, and the art is...less than great, but it's still a story.

[Mag · Rating 3 out of 5]

Super fun creature feature made even better by Corben’s creepy art.

Ok, yet another story pitting Bigfoot as a bloodthirsty beast. To boot, casting the legend in the pose from the iconoclastic Patterson/Gimlin footage! Talk about sacrilicious, esp since Bigfoot, in said film, is clearly camera shy, and walking as fast as she can AWAY from the two humans. Oh well. The book is a great occasion to showcase the immense talents of Richard Corben, who is a legend in his own right. Read it for his art's sake.

It was good. Not awesome, but not bad either. A straightfoward monster story that holds no surprises but is still enjoyable. If you're a hardcore Steve Niles or Rob Zombie fan, buy it. If not, borrow from a friend or get it at your local library (if they have it) and read it. You'll probably finish it in one sitting.

Corben's art is always amazing.
