Family Tree has grown from being a pretty good horror/drama into a thing of horrific beauty. This issue made me feel a range of emotions which is another testament to how good a writer Lemire is.
Really, really good comic. It's shaping up to be a classic.
Everything is happening so fast. Its very quick paced, and it just lingers for more answers. The art, like I said, its an acquired taste. At first I didn't like it, but with the whole tree theme going on, I can see why Phil Hester was brought on to do it. Big things happen in this issue, but while we still don't totally grasp the whole background of this tree syndrome, we are finally understanding the ramifications and and consequences of Judd's actions to protect his grand-daughter. Its ramps up towards the end of this issue then poof. End of second arc.
