Disclaimer: I do not have a physical disability. Lord Baltimore does. (That's not a spoiler. His prosthetic leg features prominently in every cover illustration.) He mentions losing it as part of his Tragic Backstory and uses it as a weapon once or twice, but we never get to see him maintaining it. It doesn't seem to alter how he moves through the space. Instead we get "wooden peg leg that balances on—and jumps between—the roofs of rain-slicked train cars with ease," which feels like a missed opportunity. It's akin to Luke Skywalker's hand: a prosthetic there to symbolize great loss without changing the protagonist's behavior in any way.

When I started this series, I was sure it wasn't going To be something I enjoyed, I don't read much in the way of horror comics and wasn't really all that excited about the premise. I was wrong... Shame on past me. This series is amazing... Story, art, and dialogue are wonderful. I don't want this to be the end... More Lord Baltimore!

Finally getting into the real meat and bones of the story, as opposed to doing the monster of the week stuff. Art continues to be fantastic, but the story remains familiar and well-trod. Still worth reading, regardless.
