The pacing of this comic is a crawl. But it’s not the agonizingly slow crawl of a drunk toddler making its way to the front door. This is a graceful, deliberate crawl that you can’t turn away from.

It’s odd that a story that crams a lot of story in while seeming like not much is happening. Hogan is just gifted. And Parkhouse’s art is a perfect fit for it.

While Image is cranking out fifty new #1s a month, and seeing what succeeds (and there are some fantastic Image #1s), Dark Horse seems to quietly be churning out some of the best limited series I’ve read in years. I’m definitely picking up the trade for this when it comes out.

Story: 5 - Excellent
