In the last issue, we left Anne pursuing Murphy Pendleton down a drain in Silent Hill following a prison transfer bus crash. The dark link between Anne and Pendleton is revealed in this issue – I won’t spoil it – but it’s safe to say that Silent Hill preys on Anne’s familial history with Pendleton to haunt and disorientate her. We get flashback to the time when her father taught her to shoot, when he was ill, when she begged for a transfer to put her in contact with Pendleton and quelle horreur, the time when she was blackmailed in exchange for that transfer.

This issue hasn’t taken us much further than the last but we have been made privy to the historical link between our main characters and the Silent Hill haunting that the town does do well has begun. This issue is much darker and murkier than ever before and it is fitting that us readers see so little. Out of that dark comes a terrifying creature that, even now, I am not sure what it quite looks like – and that’s the way it should be in Silent Hill.

Rating: 4/5.
