While the story doesn't move forward much in this specific issue it casts its gaze ahead and there's a lot of road to start running as of the final page. Read Full Review
In Oblivion Song #7 we get the full story behind the Transference and how it all came about. It was mostly a flashback, but important to the overall story. Read Full Review
The story arc is off to a good start, but it remains to be seen how much of the lore Kirkman builds in the coming issues. Are we going to see the Faceless men next issue? Is Ed going to be separated from his brother again? Will there be immediate consequences for breaking Nathan out of his cell? I look forward to getting the answer to these questions and more. The strength of the writing and art make it easy for me to give this issue a seven out of ten. Read Full Review
This book made me want to stay for a least one more but I don’t have a lot of faith, at this point, that I will continue to stay. The story up to this point has been a slow, mostly boring, grind. The human character art is really good and tells the story well enough. Panel layout, colors, all good. The monsters and the dimensional worlds are just lazy blobbly art with very little detail. Makes the interesting bits hard to look at and ultimately hurts the books appeal.
Just not feeling this book and I find the monster designs confusing. I mean where are the eyes?? Just odd art and story to me is meh, so I’m dropping this, but if there is some big twist or it continues to get great reviewsI may get back onboard via the trades.
