Sólido.
En este pasan tantas cosas. La agente del FBI me está dando dolores de cabeza cada vez que aparece, en serio, esa mujer se lleva mis nervios. Y las cosas que pasan, wow, no las veía venir, fueron muy crudas.
Buen cliffhanger, lista para el siguiente.
Mi problema fue con el primer "Issue" básicamente. Ese no me gustó nada, me pareció muy sensacionalista, aburrido o más bien, no a la altura.

Well damn! Just when I thought I'd finally have more answers, you get more questions.

MY THOUGHTS ABOUT NAILBITER VOLUME 3:

○ We all know that Crane and Warren had history. It used time jumps to tell the history between both these characters. It worked for me. To be fair, I thought they had tons of chemistry

○ You still don't know shit about what's going on in this town. Every time you think you're closer to the truth, the story will take you further away from it - just the way i like it.

○ Some freaky people are roaming around this town and no one even notices it. That seems a bit unrealistic. Also, where are the other police officers.

○ I feel so bad for Warren and all the Buckaroo butchers. I shouldn't, but I do. Only shows how good the writings is. I think they're all victims of some sort. I liked how the author made Warren, in particular, a bit sympathetic.

○ I like how I'm still at the edge of my seat even now that i'm at the third volume. The suspense and the intrigue is still there.

The only con I'm seeing at the moment is that i have no clue where it's going. I mean, every time something else happens, everything gets even more farfetched. While i like it, I'm not sure where it will go from here.

Other than that, I still love this series and would definitely finish it.

This one was crazy fun. You get more backstory and insight on the Nailbiter, the priest, the town, the caves, the curse, all of it. The story is supremely sharp in its execution, adding questions while answering others. Honestly, one of the best examples of mystery pacing I've read. I feel like I read this whole thing in ten seconds, pages flying.

4.5/5

OMG the reveal about Alice's parentage was awesome. I do wish, sorry not sorry, we had a kill within our comfort zone: one of the detectives: Finch or Craine. I was so excited by both of the "kills" but then it was a daydream, like ew. Like, be like Robert Kirkman and kill off your cast. It's ok if you do! Because if you don't, there are no stakes. But I have to give the writers credit, because even tho most of the characters are meh, the intrigue is def still on.

-resolved some things started in the second issue (caves, beeman)
-developed relationship between Crane and Warren
-Cool scene with like 30 something boxes going though three different scenes (iteregation, beeman's murder and the FBI lady's reactions); was really well done and built suspense really well
-inner mantra "oh shit oh shit"
-I'm very excited for the next issue
