Tiffany leigh Comic Reviews

The pace, intensity, sense of foreboding was all there... like a waking Freudian nightmare coded with the uneasiness of A Clockwork Orange smashed up with One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. This is bolstered with DaNi's raw, moody art that is enriched by colorist Matt Hollingsworth's aubergine palette (I absolutely adore the contrast with the oceanic and picturesque tone of Petalon, Greece in the initial sequence pages (it brilliantly gives you a false sense of security and that's quickly stripped from you when you see the context of why Kate is in this remote part of the world).

Overall, I'm smitten with their sassy tête-à-tête; this is a riot of a romance story, and I cannot wait to find out what happens next.

I do appreciate the character deep dives and respective development, but sometimes, it can feel too drawn out like a soap opera. You want the plot to progress and there wasn't much of that here. There was more teasing of a 'big bad' than enrichment of the overall storyline. It would have been nice to get a balance of both elements in this issue.
