dark fast-paced

2.0

On the bright side, I liked the art - there's a very washed-out sort of palette that I find interesting - and there was finally an explanation as to what was going on. Better late than never, but it was overshadowed by a sacrificial death scene that was just completely unaffecting. The characterisation has been so thin, overall, that I didn't have enough sense of the character to care when he died. Granted, this is a short run comic of only five issues so there's not exactly been a lot of page space to tease characterisation out, but there's been enough waffle over the past five issues that something more could have been done there, I think.
