Maskerade drops off her latest quarry, then drops out of reality, where all the ghosts of the past come pouring out. Frisky confesses her connection to Ditt, having paved his hellish road with her own good intentions. And it's all about to come to a head, live and in lurid color, at 8 Eastern, 7 Central.
As of the sixth issue, Maskerade is a more satisfying emotional journey than most superhuman medical horror manages. The basic premise might not have a whole lot to offer in the way of anything new, but the emotional end of the characters comes across quite vividly in a darkly enjoyable lead-up to the big climactic conclusion that will hit at the end of the summer. Smith and McElfresh are heading towards what feels very much like a climax in the next issue. The writers have done a good job of delivering the story so far. Itll be interesting to see how the pacing develops for the last two issues of the series. Read Full Review
