Emily has been doing good work for Newburn and his gangland clients, but what drove her into their world?
PLUS: Ronnie takes matters into her own hands in "SPOOK-A-RAMA" from CASEY GILLY & SOO LEE!
That scene is a great micro-example of an artist getting to hone sequences and their storytelling while working as the singular creator in terms of the finished product. Its a testament to both Zdarskys skill as a writer to trust Phillips storytelling decisions as the artist, colorist, and letterer, to convey those little details that compound to the intended effect, and to Phillips' ability to execute the written word and tell the story and action through his visuals. Newburn is one of the strongest crime books currently on shelves with Image (which is saying something when looking at that shelf as a whole) and deserves to be on everyones pull list. Its a book that keeps on giving and feels just as rewarding as snapping interior pieces into a work-in-progress jigsaw puzzle. Read Full Review
Phillips delivers some great art in the issue. With the characters being the standout element of the story, Phillips does a great job of highlighting them and their emotions throughout. Read Full Review
Although there are a few factors that can seem to slow this book down, the end of the issue made it all worth it. Newburn is going to have his hands full very soon. Read Full Review
Newburn doesn't even appear in an issue that focuses on the life of his recently acquired assistant and proves that this series' protagonists are equally compelling characters. Read Full Review
Another solid issue. Good art. Newburn remains great crime.
The stories continue to be great but Zdarsky keeps putting gimmicky fillers in each issue that give the impression that he’s trying to do as little as possible to put out this comic. In this issue, full page captions of the year indicating when different parts of the story take place make up a full quarter of the entire issue’s story (5 out of 21 pages). With everything being as expensive as it is and people having to cut back on their discretionary spending because of it, I think readers will start to realize they’re not getting a lot of bang for their four bucks if Zdarsky continues to replace substance with filler.
