WRITING:
This issue has a little something for every comic reader out there. Zack Kaplan does an awesome job of showing us the emotional turmoil the family feels and how their relationships really affect the group a great deal. The couple action beats we get in this issue are fun, but it’s really this deep emotional story that keeps the reader coming back for more. Kaplan does an amazing job of creating this awesome world and the mythology that goes along with it.

The artwork in this issue does an incredible job of showing the story that is being told. Fico Ossio & Elisabetta D’Amico go above and beyond with the art, which really draws a lot of emotions out of the reader. Every panel draws you in and has you looking for Easter Eggs that may exist with how robust the art is. The earth tone colors that Thiago Rocha uses really give the story an exciting edge over other books on the shelf.
