    If you were looking for an artist to capture a sense of ever looming danger than Jae Lee would have to be right near the top of the list, and the issue does benefit from his atmosphere heavy style, as there's a lovely sequence where we see the team ventures forward into the darkness.

    It's pretty chaotic and weird story, I didn't understand a thing this Ultimate Mad Thinker said... No dots and commas - it's just painful to read. The art doesn't make it better. On the contrary, it makes it worse... First pages were fine, but then these dark silhouettes and cringe faces just made me change my opinion. I don't know why I rate it this high, maybe because I saw something worse, but I really don't want to see something worse here... It's a fall of this series.
