This issue built the mystery successfully and kept me on the hook and guessing. Tom King is a fantastic writer doing interesting things with the characters while still referencing the past in a way that doesn't feel stale or overly nostalgic.

The script itself falls into several pitfalls for me. It can feel stilted from panel to panel as if scenes are missing, and then also redundant at times (narration box: "Oh my god, it's like a set from the 70's""word balloon: "Like we're in The Warriors movie"), and the focus isn't on what I would find at all interesting about a KISS comic book. Take that with a grain of salt though, as I'm not a KISS head. Edu Menna's art is consistent and professionally executed, and I think that's one thing that other licensed series of this ilk can't always boast.
