Review: Behold, Behemoth #1

Behold, Behemoth #1

Greyson’s world is crumbling following his brother’s sudden and mysterious death… His sleepless nights are haunted by vivid nightmares of a terrifying monster, pushing him to the brink of losing both his sanity and his job as a social worker. But he’s truly shaken to the core when his newest case-a young orphaned girl named Wren-is found at the scene of a brutal murder, just hours after first meeting Greyson. Behold, Behemoth #1 dances between dream and reality making readers guess what might happen next.

I can say there’s few comics that have left me unnerved. For some reason, Behold, Behemoth #1 does exactly that. Written by Tate Brombal with art by Nick Robles, there’s something about this comic that kept out of my comfort zone. It’s a comic that actually gets to me, making me want to read more. The experience for me is closest to watching the original Jacob’s Ladder, a film that also played with reality and dream keeping viewers on their toes. Like watching that film, I felt a little off reading the first issue, like Greyson’s experiences were making me feel rather disturbed.

The story itself is interesting leaving readers guessing what might be going on. It isn’t until the very end of the issue do we have a clearer idea. And even then, who knows if that’s reality or just a dream.

And that’s what works so well with the comic. Not only does Brombal leave readers guessing, Robles’ art throws readers into the abyss. The images are nightmarish taking us into Greyson’s fall into the unknown. It’s a masterful mix of story and visuals, combined for an experience that feels like we’re being pulled into the madness.

Behold, Behemoth #1 is a hell of a start. It is and isn’t a genre I enjoy, my experience was most likely an outlier. But, it’s an issue that left me tweaked after both wanting and not wanting to pick up the issue and read it again. It sets up an interesting premise, one in the end that’s been done but there seems to be a new take on it all. This is a series that’ll definitely have folks talking before long.
