Mike Perkins’ art is the standout of this series so far and this issue is no different. There’s an interesting concept in the mini-series, but writers John Ridley and Ryan Parrot are trying too hard to be clever with their story. The surprise on the final page is indeed a shocking turn of events, but the path there is far too circuitous and it diminishes the impact. Sometimes being more straightforward is a better storytelling technique and this issue, indeed this whole series so far would benefit from it.
