Bob Quinn does an excellent job of setting up scenes in this issue. There isn't a lot of action until the end of the issue so the art has to reflect mood and tone. Quinn does this well with the camera angles, how characters are framed in contrast to each other and how the panels progress. A good looking issue with an awesome cliffhanger to close it.

This issue proves that the sum of a comic's parts might be its undoing. Read Full Review

Coates once again moves this book along so slowly that this issue could literally have been told in 5 pages. Read Full Review

It's a well-meaning story, but there's too much involved for us to still have so many questions in such a stagnant chapter in this bizarre story. Even the most exciting parts could have been extra "director's cut" pages in another issue. It's a no from me. Read Full Review

Cap strikes at Selene after one more belabored examination of her man-trapping scheme, and the shadow of the Red Skull starts looming a little larger. Some clumsiness in the art and way too much detail about Adamsville, but I remain optimistic about the larger plot.

" But the true enough. The cycle is almost complete and the blood marine almost full. And when that is done, well... Selene shall hunger no more."

I wasn’t exactly excited by what was happening, but I didn’t feel that much of drag either.

Since yu left the art has been lacking. The story just needs to move on to something else. The power elite has been going on since issue 1 and I still have no idea why we are supposed to care. I think for what its worth this issue had some good parts but coates needs to move on from cap. Just boring overall.

I'm ambivalent towards this issue. The ideas are interesting, but the execution is lacking, as far as the stuff in Madripoor goes. The stuff in Adamsville was still good. And the art was competent!
