If
there were ever a course on how to write an ensemble cast in a book this should
be at the heart of its curriculum. This is how I imagine an Aaron Sorkin comic
would read. Every one of these characters is fascinating and flawed and not
since Watchmen have I been introduced to this many characters that I care about
all at once.

            JMS
is really putting his all into this book and the love he has for the time
period these folks come from is all over the dialogue. The art by Chris Weston
is astoundingly well detailed and rich. This is an artist I will be following
for years to come.

            This
issue alone is a great example of various plotlines falling into place and I couldn’t
be happier with how things are coming together. Bravo gentlemen.
