General Comments: The psychological warfare continues. Tension builds: characters, relationships, and plots begin to intertwine. The ebb and flow of dialogue between detective and killer is, at its simplest, an enjoyable experience – there is an undeniable beauty in these mental mind-games portrayed across the panels. There is certainly an increase in intensity and grittiness, one that comes with a gruffer edge.

Favourite Quote: ‘You can’t ever win if you’re always on the defensive. To win, you have to attack.’
