"STATIONS OF THE CROSS," Part Two: Father Burke's hunt for The Laughing Man killer goes from the Old West to a steampunk version of Gideon Falls (complete with an otherworldly version of The Black Barn) where "The Bishop" is a new piece added to the cosmic chess board.
When this title hits, it hits hard. What started out as a thriller is now straight-up horror with a sprinkle of this peculiar mix of supernatural and science fiction, resulting in a genre-bending tale that's absolutely incredible to take in. Read Full Review

So, too, will the artistic teams notable work. The methods of Andrea Sorrentino (Old Man Logan) and Dave Stewart (Hellboy) work as well in alternate worlds and times as in the modern setting of earlier arcs. Blurry line-work, serrated paneling, and bold reds are just as disconcerting in the Victorian Age of Gideon Falls #13. Steve Wands (Batman) expertly matches fonts to fears of dislocation that frame these places. The letters are rickety, as if they are hastily put together and about to fall apart. Except, that is, when Burke comes into conflict with the Laughing Man. There, bold and firm lettering anticipates conflict to come. Read Full Review

THE GOOD:
-I don't get it. I am so enamored with how it is possible for this comic to be so good every single time.
-You know the drill. Jeff Lemire is a genius. Andrea Sorrentino is a genius.
-That first splash page was great and the distortion was a nice subtle reference to another splash page from issue one.
-"He had such a smile." Ooh, that was creepy.
-The paneling for the first page with the Laughing Man was so good, and his face in the middle there made it so creepy.
-Norton is so creepy and so perfect.
-That scene involving the glass shard was gross and once again displayed outstanding paneling and art.
-The dystopian Gideon Falls is so go more
I just love this comic.
Crazy.
Utter class issue, freaky in a good way.
Pure insanity in a comic book format.
While highly entertaining, these are the issues that lose me a little. Some of the pages are beautiful to look at but they are a little confusing and there wasnt much substance. It went by so fast but in no way was there anything wrong. Just one of the weaker issues.
