I really want to drone on and one about this issue. It's the best issue of the series and really left me with a ton of excitement. I'll be sad to read the last issue next month, but at the same time I've never been more excited to read the conclusion. This was the story that the series needed and hopefully the next mini-series isn't too far behind. If this was the only volume you've read then I would definitely recommend buying the other issues on Dark Horse's digital store just to see how great the build has been to this issue. Damn, this issue was good! Read Full Review
Overall this issue displays the strongest part of this book, and that is the fact that there is a lot of personal growth. There is a clear progression that Tim shows as Rob is beginning to accept who he is to overcome being that classic accidental hero. No longer is he that victim of circumstance seeing how he understands the responsibility that has been placed on him by the Sword. The dialogue is so well done for Rob having notice that there is more authority in his voice as to an extent he's grown up from this experience. He may not have asked for it, but as someone chose he has something to prove. Where this takes us next issue is unsure, but it will be something hopefully just as defining to who he might become which says a lot when this is issue four of five. For a new series and pseudo-supernatural hero, The Occultist is one you must read that this year produced. Read Full Review
More serious than the others. Still awesome. Read Full Review
This was a terrific penultimate issue, and despite being slightly non-new reader friendly it would still be amazing, having some wacky and exciting moments throughout. Read Full Review
The Occultist #4 shows the potential of this series and was a very enjoyable read. Since this issue highlighted the responsibilities of the wielder of the Sword, it was entertaining to see him finally take on those responsibilities and actually use the Sword. It was slightly annoying that it took him extra time to realize what was going on despite Anna and Mr. Elder standing right in front of him but I did understand his anger later towards the mastermind behind this plot to deceive him, and it should be a great confrontation. So I'm looking forward to the final showdown. Read Full Review
There's one more issue in this arc, which I'll probably review, but something tells me I won't be coming back to The Occultist any time soon after that. Read Full Review
