A review by causticbryn
Darkness Visible, Vol. 1 by Brendan Cahill, Arvind Ethan David, Livio Ramondelli, Mike Carey

3.0

The first two issues completely captivated me. The characters and dialog crackled, the setting was rich and full of little hints of how we got to here, and I loved the art style throughout. Unfortunately, the momentum of the series gets trashed by issue three (a look at World War II's alternate outcome), and again in issue six (the origin of one of the more interesting characters). Though they were both well-crafted, they took me out of what should have been the story of Detective Aston, and made this first run of Darkness Visible seem like it meandered and ran out of steam.
