Grim #3 is reliably good and consistently surprising. Often, a reader can kind of tell what's going to happen next in a series if they read enough comics or get an idea of three-act structure. While Grim is probably still a three-act structure comic, there's often something a reader can intuit. It's to the credit of Grim #3's team that's as scarce as possible. While it's not as oblique or as vulgar as Faithless (my favorite series from Boom), Grim is quickly becoming one of Boom's best series. Read Full Review
I think the "reveal" of this arc is a forgone conclusion at this point, but the story itself still interests me and Flaviano's art might be the best it's been in this series so far. We get a little bit more development around Adira here, showing that she is a more ancient evil than previously thought. I probably would have given this an 8.0, but, for whatever reason, Flaviano's art was particularly great here, which boosts this up by 0.5 for me.
The book still struggles with exposition.
Characterization is strong though and the artwork is fantastic. Lot's of interesting developments happening, just wish they were executed in a way that was more engaging.
