The Story: King delivers a solid and entertaining mystery in this issue. I continue to be impressed with the noir aesthetic that permeates this series. It’s a gripping, brilliantly paced detective story that draws me in every issue. The complicated relationships and growing secrets are entertaining and never cease to excite and entice me to read more.
The Art: Smallwood delivers some beautifully classic art throughout the story. The pages and panels capture the look, feel and emotion of a classic detective story complete with the hard nosed hero and the beautiful women who flock to him.
