Silent Hill is and always will be one of my favourite video game series/film/graphic novel franchise, it is just as good as Resident Evil. It is one of the best survival horror video games series ever made.

This graphic novels is similar to the volume 1 omnibus (which is a collection of short stories or a graphic of a series of comic books in one book) I read all of it today, it was good but I was a bit disappointed yet again by the lack of use of the creatures from silent hill, the mythology or well known characters in the series of video games.
I would rather read an graphic novel adaptation of the video games since there aren't already novelizations of their first three games that have been published, so it would be nice if they were republished in English, since I would like to read them! I don't really like the way the omnibuses are put together, they both contain random stories that are connected to Silent Hill directly, which is annoying.
I would have enjoyed reading the omnibuses more if, the nurses, pyramid head or the other lesser known creatures were in the graphic novel, it would have made it more entertaining to read, since they were only in one or two of the stories.
I did however lie the last story since it was based on the videogame Silent Hill: Downpour which is a good game, some of the plot was different but I liked reading this story. Pyramid head, the nurses and some type of zombie dog similar to the zombie dogs from resident evil were in the first story, but if they were in the graphic novel more often then, I would have liked this, it's annoying that this series and resident evil aren't scary anymore, it's just bland and mediocre.
The second story was okay, but I don't understand how the stories or characters in either omnibus volumes 1 or 2 are connected, so I find it annoying that there are not any reoccurring characters that I like or know about, that would have made it more interesting. Even though it's disappointing to read, I guess people should appreciate that there even is an omnibus graphic novel of Silent Hill graphic novels after the video game franchise getting butchered and now cancelled after the Silent Hill playable teaser P.T. was briefly made available, so I will never get the chance to play that!
It would be nice to see a graphic novel based on the video game franchise sometime in the future, because it is really creepy, a lot is not really explained well or at all in the videogames, so more detail could be added in a series of novelizations or graphic novels.
This is obviously a must have instant buy type of item if you are a huge fan of Silent Hill like me, but don't expect to see pyramid head or the nurses on every other page, because you will not be satisfied, you may even be disappointed unfortunately. ( )

Cathartic Reading: As a longtime Silent Hill fan (since the original) I needed a fix to overcome the disappointing issues plaguing game publisher Konami: Silent Hills for PS4 promised to be awesome (involvement with Guillermo del Toro and Norman Reedus-walking dead actor). Then it got abruptly cancelled. I turned to Silent Hill Omnibus and Silent Hill Omnibus, Volume 2 to satiate my need to roam thru a ghost town.

The Silent Hill Omnibus omnibus #2 comprises 3 more installments of the comic adaptions for the Silent Hill game franchise from Konami. It contains the full versions of:
1) Silent Hill: Sinner's Reward
2) Silent Hill: Past Life
3) Silent Hill Downpour: Anne's Story

Like #1, this Omnibus is true to the canon/style of Silent Hill. The art in this one is more clear and understandable, yet remaining "weird" in a good way. Expect cameos from your favorite creatures; characters always being drawn into a ghost town to confront their past. The last two installments provide some extension of background story for the Postman and Anne featured in the game Downpour. On the whole, the story lines rely too heavily on adultery & murder (some variation would be nice), but they are well written.

The comics will not replace what-could-have-been the experience promised in Silent Hills (plural, the game), but they are a worthy part of the "Hill." Recommended for Hill fans. ( )
