So, I've read every issue of this book to date. I feel as though I have a firm handle on what it is and what it will become and I like it. It is dark and macabre is the way Spawn was when it was a sharp book, but also very simple. Its about moments with the characters, letting yourself ride the action and living for the thrill. This issue is an intimate portrait of Mirage, Kurt's secret lover. Her story gives you the other half of the first story arc that reveals much of what you were left guessing at from Daniel's point of view. The story itself is a bit wordy for my taste, but it functions nicely as an epilogue and made me like Mirage a bit as the archetypal 'rogue with a heart of gold' - though with a dark bend. Capullo's art, for me, was exquisite. Just enough details, dynamism and variety. Good work on the coloring and inks to create an almost noir mood for this issue. I know the connoisseur of comics isn't supposed to like it, but fuck them; Mirage looks and feels sexy and sultry when appropriate, but she doesn't feel like a one-note Vixen as Capullo expresses her shock, anger, fear and sadness at various points adroitly.
