Dagger comes face to face with the killer she's been tracking for days – but will she make it out alive?! And, at the moment she needed him most, where is Cloak?!
Cloak & Dagger #3 was a hit and miss kind of issue in contrast to the previous two chapters. the story would have benefited from more focus on what was either going on in the present or the back. When being tossed back and forth and from two different perspectives, that is when you risk things getting a bit messy. Read Full Review
the true villain of this book is taking more of a shape and he is just the kind of enemy best suited to Cloak and Dagger. Each issue is really about the different components of breaking up. This one is about reliance. The basic truth is that these two have not found a way to not rely on one another. The simply can not fully divorce their lives and in a past filled with regrets misunderstanding what happens when you need that person you are trying to leave. Cloak's hunger is not going anywhere and neither is Dagger's stubbornness. Though the biggest obstacle they face together knows them just as well as they know themselves. He knows how to get in their heads. Hopeless has made a villain that is the living embodiment of a toxic environment. more
I think that this maybe could have been executed a liiiiittle more neatly, but on the whole I'm interested.
A confusing onslaught of first and second-hand tales shows what Grey can do and has done. Tyrone's strong narration is a useful anchor, but this story is harder to untangle than it really should be. The visuals are mostly great, but they also contribute to the confusion. Using the same finish and coloring for contemporary and flashback scenes is tricky, particularly when they're intercut panel-to-panel.
