A great wrap-up to a solid story arc.
Gronbekk and Ohta stuck the landing. They conclued the NoName arc, and planted a few seeds for future conflicts. The art was very good, characters looked great, and the action flowed smoothly from panel to panel. Ohta does a great job convey the horror and alien nature of the symbiots. Frank D'Armata's colors were excellent, enhancing the dark tone of the story without mireing it in heavy blacks.
The story moves quickly, the dialogue was, largely, very good (none of this "You're weak against stretch guys! %$#&). Gronbekk uses narration boxes to good effect to communicate needed information, without littering the page, Claremont style. The charaterization of Dylan, and Bren are ver more
A fairly solid and entertaining book, but I'm so ready to get back to Al Ewing & CAFU on this book. Otha's art here isn't bad by any means and it's actually one of the stronger points of this. As for Grønbekk, this and the previous two issues weren't my favorite. It's not a bad book at all, but it's disappointing to have this story instead of the amazing stuff we've been getting whenever Ewing is writing this. I can't wait to see what he's cooking up with the next issue.
This is not Ewing's writing.
Can't wait to have Ewing back next issue. This arc just felt so generic and uninspired.
Another issue written by Torunn Gronbekk and not Al Ewing...
