Sam is on the run after being accused of a horrific crime he never committed, but he must do some real soul searching. Will she be able to find a way to return to Woodbrook and clear her name despite all the gruesome murders she committed herself?
I felt like issue #4 of Under the Tree No One Was Watching probably discovered the town’s killer too soon, and this fifth chapter unfortunately proves that point.
While it’s still very strong, it feels like it takes some wind out of the series’ momentum so far, and the scenes featuring “normal” wildlife are a bit on the nose and don’t really seem to add much. In fact, it’s even more confusing at the moment, with a lack of explanations as to why so many animals essentially live as humans (in a world without humans), and why some still act and live as animals.
I’m still very intrigued by the one murderer versus another murderer setting. Especially since we have to hate the main character, Sam, just as much as her new nemesis. This is a very clever and emotional storytelling trick. As always, the art is also phenomenal.
That this issue is a little disappointing really only proves how strong the rest of the series has been thus far, so let’s see how well the climax of the next issue handles the rapidly unfolding and surprisingly complex situation.
