story BEN McCOOL, art & cover BEN TEMPLESMITH

Size: 32 pages
Price: 3.99

Writing swear-filled dialog is an art.  And in this issue, it’s amateur hour.  If you’re going to say “Let’s go fuck hunt Cassiday in his eye sockets.” Just go for it and say “Let’s go fuck hunt Cassiday in his eye cunts.”  If you’re going excessive, go excessive.  Don’t fucken half ass your swearing.

Dialog aside, this issue did a great job of overcoming the eleven years (or possibly three months) since issue three by creating a starting point that doesn’t really require you to know the back story from the previous issues.  But while the story arc is well written, the action sequences are sloppy.  I understand that in the chaos of battle you sometimes don’t know who is saying what, who is punching what, and who is getting decapitated by vampires, but unless the point of your scene is that no one knows what’s going on, then your reader should probably be able to tell what’s going on.  Also, the dialog was still not good.

Templesmith’s art is still Templesmith’s art.  If you love it, you’lll love it, if you don’t, you won’t.

Story: 2 - Average
Art: 4 - Very Good
