With that said, the writing and artwork are excellent. As it's being read, The Cult of the Red King noticeably has a rich-history behind it from how Mignola and Golden tell the story to Peter Bergting's stylized visuals. Think Francesco Francavilla in terms of the art. Apologies but another cliche here is necessary. It has the potential because of the already built world Mignola and Golden have created in Baltimore's past works. But issue no. 3 needs to make this setting feel new to newcomers of the series by either providing more origin or starting to reveal some continue-reading worthy plot points because so far its unfocused story, poor characterization and slow-build are holding back what could be a must read series.
