If you've ever forgotten that this book is an ongoing, as I have sometimes, issues like these will snap you out of it. The story so far has escalated dramatically to this point, and it's a really great payoff -- yet, by the end, you still don't really know why anything is happening. This story strikes the perfect balance between showing and telling; it assumes you're a smart person, rewards you for paying attention and leaves enough unexplained that you're still invested. And that's why I'm sticking with it.
Walter Booker meets his dramatic, and redemptive, end at the hands of cultists and a Cthulhu-monster baddie in this issue. Booker's journey from corrupt cop to action hero has been a marvel of plotting and characterization, and it's a satisfying end to the character that still drives the overall story forward -- and showcases Mr. Bishop and his baby-sacrificing cult as formidable villains.
Sean Phillips, usually very restrained in showing the bloodier moments of this story, gets to cut loose a bit more here, as henchmen get their heads blown off with bullets and their arms sliced off with (surprisingly sharp) stone knives. The use of lighting is spot-on: Everyone's fighting in underground catacombs that never seem to be mysteriously lit from nowhere, and the shadows drawn around the various raised fists and clenched knives are used to great effect to highlight the action. His art really elevates the story to capital-n Noir.
