Joseph Nelson Comic Reviews

Less revelation-driven than previous issues, this chapter instead focuses on characterisation.

Hickman serves up his usual brilliance in the first issue of what is set to be a thrilling adventure.

Overall, I really enjoyed this book, but I do feel the long wait may have harmed the seamlessness of the overall arc. That said, this is almost the perfect jumping on point for new readers, as it sort of serves as a prologue to the previous two issues " just bear in mind that once you have tracked down the back issues, you then have to wait until next year to read the next instalment of The Dying and the Dead.

Maybe a bit confusing to newcomers, but overall an exciting chapter in the overall arc.
