Gina Greene and Zelda Pettibone are face-to-face with Maniac Harry once more, and they're armed with enough Molotov cocktails to burn down the borough! But the Mayor of New York seems determined to get in their way. Can Gina and Zelda stop Harry before his body count rises?
SPOILER ALERT: They can't! There's only one issue left after this one, and it just might be the biggest bloodbath yet!
Each issue of MANIAC OF NEW YORK: THE BRONX IS BURNING features 24 pages of story and art with a cardstock cover!
This installment does get Lena a bit closer to finding Gina, though she's facing her own troubles along the way at Penn station. Her journey has me wondering if the finale isn't going to be the end of the story as it's hard to see her being so key to things with just one installment left in this series. That said, we do get a lot of fun things in this issue as the chaos continues on and you just wait to see more and more bodies drop. It's actually tame in this issue how little death there is but that just has me figuring the next issue is going to overcompensate, which is exactly what we want. Read Full Review
It tackles contemporary problems without being too heavy-handed as well, a task proven to be quite difficult in any kinds of horror-themed stories like this. Read Full Review
For what it is, it's entertaining. I do wish we'd move along the plot a little but, that's just like asking a slasher film to have plot. Not really what it's made for.
We're coming full circle to the Covid metaphor as Harry stumbles into a stadium full of people. Time to spread the murder like wildfire.
