From the publisher: From the critically acclaimed writers of The Dregs comes a new horror series about body image, social media, and memory. When an entrepreneur with a god complex creates a technology that allows two minds to share one body, he doesn’t anticipate the degenerative effects of long-term trials. Come Into Me is a contemporary comment on connected culture and our longing for approval in the digital age. This is a world where technology and flesh become indistinguishable, begging the question, “How much sharing is too much sharing?” Prepare yourself for the insane lovechild of The Fly and Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind.

Our We Talk Comics WeView – “Come Into Me” – with a title like that, how could I not review it? Looking at issues #1 and #2, the cover art alone just begs for the pages to be turned.

The story follows a man whose scientific company has the goal to merge minds together, hoping to heal the mechanics of the brain. This expensive procedure uses a large biological mass with tentacles that connects to the base of the skull. Unfortunately this procedure, while still in the testing phase, creates terrible mishaps that make the search for investors far more difficult. Seemingly then, it’s fortunate when a woman approaches the company with her own peculiar desires to use the technology. Her desire is to use the machine for hedonistic entertainment that everyone can afford. If only they knew of the ongoing side effects that merging two minds can cause.

It doesn’t take long for the reader to figure out that this story goes beyond gross – it’s downright creepy. The image of a sack of meat with tentacles attached to the back of human skulls is pretty unsettling. When one of the procedures turns into a bloody mess it starts to edge towards a horror story, but as the story progresses it evolves into a more of a psychological chiller. The idea of having someone in your brain and sharing your thoughts in an experiment that is now having unintended consequences is downright scary.

Think of movies involving brain hijacking, exploding skulls, or consciousness swapping, because “Come Into Me” is heading in that direction. Thankfully this story is done very well, hopefully attracting readers that like to be scared or entrap those who are tempted by the disturbing covers. There’s little doubt the characters are about to go bad, very bad, and we can’t wait to read it all!

When you’re done reading the main story issue #1 has a letter on the back pages about a disturbing self-cesarean case. It’s truly surreal. There’s also an interesting letter about the complex Japanese horror series “Tomie” which is worth checking out if you’re a manga or anime enthusiast. One the back pages of issue #2, the letters discuss John Carpenter’s “The Thing” and Stephen King’s “Carrie”. These accompanying letters help make “Come Into Me” seem like a both dinner and a creep show, which is kind of awesome.

Issue #1 Rating: Very Fine (VF) or 8/10 

Issue #2 Rating: Very Fine- (VF-) or 7.5/10
