You can't read everything, right? Just like you shouldn't make a big deal if your friends never seen The Godfather, I don't think it's a big deal that I've never read a Terry Moore comic book. He did the semi-famous Strangers in Paradise book and the sci-fi-esque Echo book. This is his newest creation. Moore does it all; he writes, draws, inks, letters. It's a one-man show. There's a price for that, though, as the book is only 18 pages and can be read in a few minutes. The premise is a good one: a girl wakes up buried alive and has to dig herself out and figure out how she got there. The big, shocking conclusion gives us another question in this mystery: is this even the same girl? If not, why does she look like Rachel and have her memories? Yeah, if she's dead than this book sucks, but I'm guessing even Moore has a better imagination. The black and white art is very nice; nature is detailed, the characters crisp. It's a good start and intriguing. **1/2
