With the small team, Dr. Reyes is joined by Lt. Morris and. Dr. McCommick into the cave expedition. The mysterious caves reveal something ancient and monstrous lurking in the shadows. While the team investigates the caves, the virus continues to spread, tearing them apart.

Writers Cullen Bunn and Kyle Straham do a fantastic job keeping the narrative moving at an incredibly fast pace. The female characters, such as Nails, get a time to shine against the gruesome horror action. The lettering by Crank! heightens the suspense in the opening sequence, revealing that the cave is alive. 

Artist Baldemar Rivas illustrates the cave as a living and breathing organism. This entire time, it’s not a cave; it’s a stomach. The most striking image comes across when the cave shapes itself into a human face.
