Palmiotti and Gray nail the setting and the lore of Jason Vorhees and remember that the best stuff is that it was Jason's mom doing all the hack and slash in the original film. The set-up here is solid and the characters are horror movie standards, but there's a certain level of appreciation for the Friday the 13th "history" that's really fun. Unfortunately, the art is passable at best. Would have been a great issue otherwise.
