Synopsis
With the Heathen’s influence hitting close to home, Sutton is forced to finally reveal the truth about her past to those she loves the most. But it might be too late as the Heathen sets Ian on a collision course with the Stain.
Review
First of all, the cover is absolutely chilling. Skin peeling off a face, extra eyes and teeth everywhere—it’s grotesque, intricate, and truly next-level detailed. I loved it. The villain is gloriously campy and conniving. I adore a character who is as ruthless as they are charming, and here, the Heathen delivers. He’s witty, sassy, unpredictable, and utterly awful. Bonus points for his signature black textboxes with white font—a small touch, but in my eyes, the epitome of a classic villain.
Following her ‘episode’ in the last issue, Sutton and her ex-husband engage in a heated argument, revealing why their marriage fell apart. In true “traumatized horror final girl” fashion, it hits all the expected notes—trust issues, unresolved trauma, and an inability to open up. And of course, there’s a moron of a husband trying to “fix” her instead of listening, cementing Sutton’s status as the quintessential horror final girl—and I say that with full admiration.
Sutton and the Heathen are clearly on a collision course, but where will it lead? And who will survive? That’s the tense, thrilling game we play every issue. I’ll admit, there’s a spark between them—whether it’s enemies-to-lovers tension or pure hatred mixed with dark fascination is impossible to say. Either way, it keeps you guessing: will they destroy each other… or something else entirely?
I also love how the story shifts between past and present. While flashbacks can sometimes feel tedious or disorienting, here every jump adds something meaningful. The narrative never pauses to let you catch up; it keeps the momentum high and the stakes even higher.
Verdict
It Killed Everyone But Me #4 is a wild, darkly entertaining ride. With its grotesque, unforgettable visuals, a villain who oozes campy charm, and a final girl you can’t help but root for, it hits all the right notes. The story’s twists between past and present keep you on your toes, and the tense, electric dynamic between Sutton and the Heathen adds a deliciously dangerous edge. This issue proves the series isn’t just horror—it’s smart, stylish, and unapologetically thrilling.
