This is a graphic novel based on a film script written by Jamie Lee Curtis. Published in 2023, this says from the upcoming feature film, but I must say I haven't heard of this as a film yet.
The artwork by Karl Stevens is occasionally excellent. I'm not sure it's ever bad, but I didn't feel it had the wow factor of a lot of the graphic novels I've read in the last few years.
The issue with this book is the story, which really doesn't make that much sense- and I say that coming from reading a book about a man who travels back to his own birth every time he dies. This is an attempt at an eco conscious horror story.
There's Native American folklore, there's weird radioactive creatures from under the ground, there's global conspiracy, and a rebellious teen who is somehow transformed into Mother Nature and goes on a random killing spree, and JLC as a very human villain.
It's all a bit of a mess tbh. Too much happening to quick, the artwork isn't always clear as to what's actually happening. Luckily it was short. Maybe the film will be an improvement if it happens.
