Review Overview

Imagine being trapped inside an airport during a snowstorm. Now, imagine being trapped with a supernatural creature. That’s what happens to airport employees Mac and Abigail in the thrilling miniseries, The Approach. Written by Jeremy Haun (The Red Mother) and Jason A. Hurley (The Beauty), and illustrated by Jesus Hervás (The Empty Man), this horror tale set to hit shelves in trade paperback form.

We are fans of both Jeremy Haun’s writing and artwork, so we found out he wasn’t illustration the interior of a book we weren’t happy, but the truth is Jesus Hervás is the perfect artist for The Approach. Hervás brings the world to life with his impressive illustrations, particularly when it comes to the blizzard scenes. You can almost feel the cold air on your skin as you read the comic. The creature design is also impressive; it’s equal parts terrifying and intriguing.

But the artwork is just the beginning. The Approach is a masterclass in storytelling. Haun and Hurley expertly craft a tension-filled plot that keeps you guessing until the very end. The slow-building horror is palpable, and you never know when the creature will strike next. The characters are also well-written, with realistic dialogue and motivations. You’ll find yourself rooting for them to survive, even as the odds stack against them.

The Approach sets itself apart from other horror comics with its unique setting. Being stuck inside an airport during a snowstorm adds an extra layer of claustrophobia and helplessness to the story. The fact that the plane crash they witness is decades old only adds to the mystery and horror. You’ll be on the edge of your seat as the survivors try to figure out what they’re up against and how to stop it.

But even with all the horror and suspense, The Approach still manages to deliver some satisfying character moments and emotional beats. There are great moments of camaraderie and sacrifice that will have you invested in the characters’ fates. Despite the supernatural threat, this is a story about real people facing insurmountable odds and doing everything they can to survive.

Haun and Hurley once again prove they know how to tell a story. Here is hoping for more co-writing credits between the two of them in the future.

The Approach trade paperback collecting the five-issue miniseries hits local comic shops on August 16, 2023 and bookstores everywhere on August 22.

The writing duo joins the Capes and Tights Podcast on July 5 to discuss The Approach and much more. Be sure to subscribe on Apple, Spotify or any major podcasting platform so you don’t miss out on Episode 115!
