"FULL THROTTLE DARK," Part Four-The road runs out as Val reaches the fabled location of her promised sanctuary. Will she find the haven she so desperately seeks, or will something far more terrifying be waiting for her?
Nocterra continues to grab the readers attention. Snyder creates characters that are easy to empathize with. This story places relatable and likable characters in an apocalyptic environment. The danger is ever present and there is not clear salvation. There is the possibility that this situation cannot be fixed and the only thing that can be hoped for is to live the best way they can. The cliffhanger to this issue is that there may be salvation after all. The sun may come back. Read Full Review

BUY THIS BOOK! For those lucky enough to get on the ground floor of anything that Scott Snyder does, he's one of the hottest authors the past few years. I am not sure how his imaginative faucet gets turned on, but I hope he has a run that rivals that of Stephen King! With Tony S. Daniel on art, you can't go wrong. Blacktop Bill is the villain of the year! Val is the female protagonist we have always wanted in a book! She is the light we all seek to find! Read Full Review

Val Riggs continues to be a well-written and compelling character, and this series continues to be excellent. It feels as though there may be a tonal shift coming soon, as the mysteries of the eternal PM are more deeply explored. For now, I'm enjoying the journey: I could easily spend a hundred issues with Val in her eighteen-wheeler, outrunning antagonists, or racing towards salvation.
