Silent Hill had multiple comic runs from IDW Publishing, like the other survival horror games of the era. Likewise, they are largely seen as non-canon. 

Particular criticism is the sketchy artstyle and chaotic panel layout, which was intended to give a feeling of unease but unfortunately made it hard to tell what was going on when one of the Picasso-esque faces of a main character was not shown. This can probably be attributed to the fact that IDW got the artist from ''30 Days of Night'' to do the first two issues, and then everyone who followed him just did what he was doing even when it didn't work. The stories were also disjointed and featured things such as the ghost of a little girl who speaks like a South Park character, a bus full of cheerleaders with guns shooting monsters, a stoner artist lured by the town to paint its surreal nature in order to spread its influence which monsters posed for when he needed models, and a "chosen one" exorcist teenage girl. 

Each series can be taken as its own thing and judged on its own merits, but as a whole are left unmentioned in continuity.
