  In Moore's previous stories, the lines between the good vs. bad characters were pretty clean, but the lines are blurring more in "Rachel Rising", particularly with the character of Zoe. "Rachel Rising" #29 revolves around the theme of revenge and how what goes around, comes around. It's strange how delicious and how justified Zoe's and Rachel's violent goals feel. Moore's never had a lack of aggressive, physically dangerous female characters in his comics, but in "Rachel Rising," the violence feels darker because it's less humorous and more bloody. "Rachel Rising" #29 is a strong issue of a strong series. Moore further deepens characterization for two of the main characters, and the plot is freshened by several sharp, small twists.

  Overall, this issue of Rachel Rising #29 is a solid installment of the book. The story is good and the art is consistent as always. With all of the good that is in the book there are some down points. Rachel's part in the story though good should have had its own issue and overall the issue reads rather quickly and feels light. This is a good issue however and though it may be light it highlights the two best characters of the book. Read Full Review

  As part of the greater narrative it's truly unsettling, but in the context of the issue it feels slightly out of place, especially given the rather tender moment shared with a sympathetic shopkeeper just before. Moore's character work is still top notch, but here we're left wanting more. Read Full Review
