Paul Pelletier continues to deliver some of his best work to date on this miniseries. There's a number of lovely touches in this issue, from the amusing presentation of the visual gags to the highly expressive faces of the cast.

The action that plays out in the latter half of the issue was also well done, as the big death scene is actually quite gruesome, that one is almost hesitant to enjoy the attempt at humour that immediately follows.
