    The crime drama of Kiros takes a small detour to address Essexs family relationships before ramping back up into what has become an inescapable series. Thompson, McClaren and Carey continue to expose the wildly imaginative world of the Black Cloaks with superb writing and art. The series generates the high praise its getting for a reason. Dont miss this issue on New Comic Book Day.  Read Full Review
