The Empty Man by Cullen Bunn
3.0
A strong 3.5.
Watched the movie a couple weeks ago and when "Based on the comic" popped up during the credits I knew I'd have to go find the book. I love this kind of mystery-based slow burn horror, and Bunn and Del Rey work well together to give this one-shot trade a moody atmosphere.
The movie was better, for what it's worth, but they're two very different beasts. The adaptation is a bit more Sinister, where the book leans towards Carpenter's Apocalypse Trilogy. The book also has a better ending.
