Silent Hill: Sinner's Reward (comic)

Writer: Tom Waltz

Illustrator: Steph Stamb

Published: 2008

This comic was suggested by Linkara (on his show Atop the Fourth Wall) as the only good Silent Hill comic. From the Silent Hill comics I have read, this is the only one that feels like it actually takes place in Silent Hill. Since this is a comic, I won't do a proper review.

So let's get started:

The Plot
Jack runs away with his boss' wife (Jill). They, of course, eventually get pulled into the town of Silent Hill. Jack meets this girl who he takes with him while looking for his wife.

The artwork for this comic adds to the atmosphere. Plus, the ending (and why it ends that way) is just breathtaking. Is it happy? Is it sad? I would say inbetween: bittersweet.

If you are looking for a proper Silent Hill comic: this is the one to check out.
