Books like Silent Hill: Sinner's Reward

I'm a pretty big fan of Silent Hill and have experienced most of the games. So I'm familiar with the concept and background of Silent Hill generally speaking. I started this comic with an idea of what happens when one enters Silent Hill, what the monsters and experiences symbolize, and the overall atmosphere.For a fan of Silent Hill with that same knowledge, this comic may not meet the desired standard for a trip through Silent Hill. The story is skeletal, focusing mainly on the protagonist and not the actual town of Silent Hill or specific monsters or locations. There aren't actually many encounters with monsters at all. So for a person already interested and well-versed in the ways of Silent Hill, I can understand how this specific story may not be up to par.Contrarily, for someone completely new to Silent Hill, this comic doesn't have the grab that the games would have. The creepiness isn't creepy enough to make the reader want more of Silent Hill. The monsters aren't showcased enough to completely pique our interest. The character isn't likeable enough for us to enjoy the comic based just on him. The plot isn't in depth enough to pull us in.So what makes this comic good? Aside from the art being awesome, this example of Silent Hill helps the reader understand the essence of the town. What brings a person there? What do the monsters symbolize? Is everything a hallucination? Your imagination? Why is the town empty of everyone but very specific people? Sinner's Reward shows us how Silent Hill changes for each visitor, how the monsters and horrors represent our demons and the skeletons in our closets. This is something you could figure out from playing the games, but never before have the mechanics of Silent Hill been spelled out so clearly to me.Maybe this comic serves best as a companion to new fans of the franchise rather than an introduction or a new experience for veterans. Either way, I still enjoyed reading Sinner's Reward.
