This series continues to tell a hard hitting, grounded story that is illustrated excellently.
I've not heard of Montos before this book. But my word, his paneling and sense of procession is very very good. He approaches it like a cinematopher with great lighting and angles.
This issue is action heavy and serves as a crescendo for the story. Chris condon gets this character and his mindset as he fights.
