Though The Unwritten has been a remarkable comic from day one, early chapters of the second story arc had seemed to indicate a sophomore slump.

I'll be very happy to get back to the proper flow of the story, but I was pleasantly surprised in just how much I enjoyed this interlude. The Unwritten continues to hold me in rapt attention every month, not unlike the children who are so in love with the saga of Tommy Taylor. Just one more chapter before bed, Mr. Carey?

Sometimes, its annoying to review the work of a regular comic book artist who delivers the same quality every month in a series. When the artist just executes well, there is nothing to say than continue patting him on the back. Theres really nothing to say about Gross work. He delivers quality every issue to the same level and contributes to the feel and popularity of this series. His work does little to interfere with the entire experience drawn from this The Unwritten. Read Full Review

It's still a good read, but not as strong as other issues. Read Full Review
