After last issue's mayhem and slaughter, Tomas is alone, hunted by alien invaders in a strange town where the Day of the Dead celebration does little to help things. And when Tomas manages to trap an alien to learn its secrets, is he unwittingly setting up his own death too?
This is the best issue of "The Saviors" yet, capitalizing on a unique locale and pushing its protagonist into an even more dire situation. Robinson's fast-moving plot and Bone's effortless-looking work are breezing us through this series, making it hard not to look forward to the next issue; but in the mean time, a chapter this beautifully executed could definitely use a second read.

"The Saviors" #4 is a little bit classic sci-fi thriller throwback and part visionary exploration of a concept nearly as old as fiction itself. Robinson and Bone are an unconventional pairing that results in an unconventional, unpredictable and exciting story. Just as things seem pointed in a better direction for the characters, Robinson makes a shift, Bone matches that with excellent art and the story changes again. The reader is right alongside Tomas, wondering what's going on without being tipped to any behind-the-scenes answers or developments. Robinson has placed this story in the readers' collective laps, pulling them into the adventure. Image Comics has produced a number of unpredictably engaging stories recently and "The Saviors" is another accomplishment in that direction. Read Full Review
