Steeped in culture and artistic knowledge, Pearl #9 could hang, page by page, in a gallery itself. This issue is not only beautiful to look at, but it also reads with infectious energy and earnestness. This series breathes with every turn of the page. Read Full Review
Even though it flies by, this issue worked for me better than most of the series. Bendis really knows how to write the character of Araki and makes it fun. The rest of the characters aren't as entertaining but that's okay. This issue is definitely one of the high points of the series, so I'll take it. Read Full Review
Wherever the series goes from this turning point, it is absolutely confident in how it can balance and present so many different modes of a surprisingly fun crime story. Read Full Review
Some of the full page artwork in this issue is fantastic, this issue felt a bit light on story but Pearl is starting to ease into her rude role.
