Colin convinces Kate to break into their former lab to procure necessary chemicals for the construction of their new time-stopping device. All the while, Ryker is settling an old score with a Beverly Hills house wife/reality star. Massive spoiler... she loathes every terrifying minute!
Theres a showdown coming between Ryker and fate, but its kind of difficult to tell exactly where Loughridge is planning on taking it. There is a definite feel of a car wreck waiting to happen that would feel deeply satisfying at the end next issue. The only thing is: this is the third issue of an 8-part series. There are a lot of different directions that Loughridge and company could take the narrative in as the series reaches its mid-point at the end of the next issue. So much could happen with someone who can stop time. Read Full Review
Standstill #3 isnt quite as dark as the preceding issue, but Rykers behavior manages to be even more unlikable. Loughridge is very effectively turning the tables to make the character the reader knows the best more and more unsympathetic as he builds toward a Colin/Ryker confrontation that is almost certainly on the horizon.

Somehow the car stuff isn't even the best part. Read Full Review
I really enjoyed the first issue of this miniseries, and felt like the second issue was pretty good, too. The problem I'm having at this point is I don't understand Ryker's motivation outside of this just being a revenge story for him. If that's the case I'm good with that, but I feel there's way more to it than that, so I'm sitting back a little more and waiting with this issue. The cliffhanger for this issue (the 3rd issue) makes me wonder what's going on in Ryker's mind even more than before. This is just a crazy book. Read Full Review
