THE UNWRITTEN #48
In part 2 of “Orpheus in the Underworld,” Tom’s quest for Lizzie has hit a major hurdle, in that he no longer remembers who either of them is. But is it possible he’s already found her without even realizing it? And who holds the true power in Hades, where masks may hide anything—or nothing?

I’ve misplaced my copy of #47 somewhere in my flat. But when I do find it I can hopefully read both issue in a row, double the pleasure!
Oh & that is my favourite cover this week by a mile!
Yuko doesn’t fuck around, one we’ll hopefully get a big–like the IDW artist ed. size–hardcover of all these covers. They’ve all been gorgeous, the Eisner’s noticed too!
I just caught up and read the last 6 issues of The Unwritten this evening. It’s gotten pretty damn crazy. I also feel like I need to re-read the entire series at this point.
I thought this was good, my only problem was that it felt like this and last issue could have just been one, but were stretched a bit to allow for the crossover to hit at #50. Two of the reveals definitely grabbed my attention, I saw the unmasking of ****** coming so I wasn’t very surprised. The last page was great, and got me excited for the finale of the arc next issue. All in all good stuff, but this book is always at least GOOD, so I can’t be too upset when it isn’t GREAT.
The art by Gross may seem a bit simple to some, but I think it really serves the story well, and it’s perfect in it’s deceptive simplicity.
I also saw the reveal behind the unmasking coming, but the last page made me exclaim out loud. Also liked the twist regarding Pauly’s origin. Can’t wait to see what happens next . . .
Almost Pick of the Week until I read Mind MGMT . . .
