If you've gotten this far, and haven't read The Hunger and the Dusk at all, you need to do so. This story has so many layers, and twists. Nevertheless, nothing feels done for shock value. The surprises all feel natural yet captivating. Read Full Review
Wildgoose delivers some of the most beautiful fantasy art Ive seen in a long time. The visuals have a wonderful sense of movement that almost makes the panels feel animated. Read Full Review
With The Hunger and the Dusk returning in the summer, I think most will be eager to see what Tara will do with her newfound information. The story continues to feel a bit slow, but the probing of its characters feels rich and the world lived in. Read Full Review
This series continues to be phenomenal.
This was another great, character-driven issue. Wildgoose's art continues to be absolutely fantastic in this series, and Wilson does a really nice job of building Tara as a character by focusing on her in the present day as well as delving into her past. My biggest complaint about this...is that we have to wait until this summer for more. That's at least four months until we get to see more of these characters and more of this story. In all seriousness, this book has been a great read so far and I hope the team can recharge during this break and come back even stronger in the summer. I can't wait to read what's next.
I'll tell you what, I am one hundred percent in on this series after reading issue #6. I immediately bought the previous five issues and am halfway through reading them as I write this review. Despite jumping into the story partway through, I didn't feel lost at all. In fact, I think issue #6 works well as a single story in the longer narrative. It can be enjoyed on its own, yet leaves you curious to find out more about this world and what events led us here.
