Writing
Reeves and Kindt are doing fantastic at getting their story across. It is easy to follow and understand, but yet it is full of mystery and intrigue. We get a little more in depth with the friendship between B and Diana. This was a great issue! I love that we are getting more into B’s backstory. I like that we did slow it down a bit for this issue. We do need to know more about B and his story. I know some people need fast paced all the time. But I do not mind slowing it down to learn more about our main character. This is a 12 issue series, so it makes sense to slow it down.
Artwork
The detail Crabtree and Garney put into their work is nothing short of amazing. You can tell that they were in each other’s head when they are creating. Crabtree truly knows how to bring Garney’s work to life. They are both doing an awesome job that they should do more work together. The detail in every piece of artwork is awesome. Don’t get me wrong. It is a very gruesome comic, but there is still something amazing about it. To me it is crazy to see all the little detail in every panel. No detail is missed. I also do love that Crabtree changes their color tone according to B’s moods. It’s great to see a colorist take all of that into consideration when bringing a comic to life.
Overall
I am HOOKED. HOOKED I tell ya! I laughed at the end of this issue because it is so darn good. Kudos to everyone involved.
