    I'm enjoying this, but I'm waiting for something"anything"to happen. This book's grade may improve when the series is completed, but on it's own it didn't really do much for me. Read Full Review

    An issue covering this much backstory and set-up could've easily fallen short, but Golden and Bergting always find the necessary drama and the right mysteries to tease to keep the energy up. Plus it was the sort of issue that was fun to think about afterward. Read Full Review

    Gah, this is disappointing basically. The first issue of this final run was ok, but as I said in my previous review, it's trying to cover A LOT of ground and it's stretching itself thinly. This issue is much worse, for pretty much the same reasons. I LOVE baltimore, the dude is a legend, however he just seems like a project manager in this incarnation. The usual tropes of the series have revolved around his wandering either alone or with a terrified sidekick into various creepy gothic scenarios. In this issue he's more like an uninspiring facilities manager trying to get his people ready for the 'final showdown'. It's just him in a house with people coming and going, and the odd tantrum thrown by a inquisitor. I think this series woul more
