Not bad. Benjamin is a type of character that annoys me. It also had a lame ending, even though I get what they are trying to do.

Benjamin #3

I’m saying all of that was never real in the first place. It is not that you will cease to exist, Marcus, it is that you never really existed in the first place. That life was always an illusion. Your dreams were always temporary. Your memories were always an invention. But you know, let’s be honest, that’s how it is for most people, when you...

After a bit of a break, this issue didn't do any services of getting me hooked back into the world. It was never the most exciting book, but I thought things were picking up before the break. Besides the last page, this book was a little boring. The art is what is propelling my grade.

The art really hindered my enjoyment of this one. I thought last issue was great, and the art enhanced that issue. In this one, it took away from the story. It's just shadows and names and people in glasses, and I'm having a hard time figuring out who is who. I still got the idea of the issue and it was fine.
