Review
Guess who’s back to ruin your sleep schedule (in the best way)? It Killed Everyone But Me returns with its second issue — and wow, it brings the heat, the horror, and the heartbreak. If the debut made you sit up and think, “Okay, this might be special,” then issue #2 will have you whispering, “Oh, we’re witnessing something legendary.”
Let’s talk covers first — because Cover B? Yeah, that one’s the show-stealer. The haunting image of a figure bound and tortured by chains channels pure Hellraiser energy. It’s visceral, it’s uncomfortable, and it tells you right away: this is not your average monster-of-the-week comic. This is horror with style, and I’m completely here for it.
The first issue left us with more questions than answers — a deliciously cruel move, by the way — setting up a mystery dripping with suspense and dread. Issue #2 wastes no time picking up that thread. We open on a flashback: Sutton and her sister, post-party, nursing hangovers and existential crises. “Who puked in the corner?” one asks — and you can practically smell the regret. It’s the perfect mix of real-life mess and sharp, honest sisterly banter.
Then — boom — we’re ripped back to the present. Sutton’s in the woods, standing at a crime scene, and the ghosts of her past are practically breathing down her neck. Decades ago, someone (or something) slaughtered her friends and sister, and now every step she takes feels like she’s walking over that old wound.
One of the things this issue nails is how effortlessly it dances between past and present. We see who these characters were, who they are now, and everything haunting them in between. It’s giving Yellowjackets energy — layered timelines, creeping dread, and emotional decay served with style.
And then there’s the Mason reveal. I won’t spoil it, but let’s just say it’s so Hellraiser-level grotesque that I audibly muttered, “Nope!” while reading. (Yes, out loud. Alone. Don’t judge me.) The visuals hit that perfect sweet spot between “this is disgusting” and “I can’t look away.”
As for the villain — chef’s kiss. There’s this twisted fascination between the monster and Sutton that gives me major Nightmare on Elm Street vibes. You know that trope where the villain’s obsession becomes its own kind of horror? That’s exactly what’s brewing here. It’s creepy, psychological, and just intimate enough to make your skin crawl.It Killed Everyone But Me #2 proves this series isn’t just about scares — it’s about obsession, loss, and what happens when the past refuses to stay buried. It’s smart horror with teeth, and it’s having a wickedly good time sinking them in.
Verdict
It Killed Everyone But Me #2 doubles down on everything that made the debut unforgettable — mystery, horror, and emotional depth. Think Hellraiser meets Yellowjackets: sharp pacing, intimate character work, and visuals that crawl right under your skin. Blending psychological tension with supernatural menace, this issue proves the series isn’t just another horror comic — it’s an evolving nightmare you won’t be able to look away from.
