Abbott: 1973 #3

Kivela has a unique vision and talent for crafting beautiful character moments as well as awesome action. Read Full Review

By having the book set in the 70's those -ism elements may feel like an easier sell, with a more closed worldview than we reportedly living in. Bearing in mind that this book has a lot of issues to work into the story, Ahmed juggles them well without coming across as preachy. Read Full Review

We'll see if Abbott 1973 finishes strong in its next few issues, but this book has largely been more of the same. Read Full Review

Abbott: 1973 Issue: 3 Publisher: @boom_studios Writer: @saladin__ahmed Artist: @samikivela Colorist: @mattiaiacono_colors_ Cover: @tajfrancis Letterer: @jimcampbell Abbott has come home to discover that her place has been ransacked and her lover, Amelia, is missing. Her life is completely flipped upside down and her only support system is gone. The threat of the Umbra continues to loom. Meanwhile, her personal life is also being attacked due to her articles on the historical election. The pressures on Elena Abbott are beginning to stack up. There are so many different elements at play here. The dark forces of the Umbra continues to close in on her, a sexist boss demands more investigated journalism on the impeding hi storical election of Detroit’s first African American Mayor and now her girlfriend is missing. As things seemingly continue to spiral out of control, Abbott takes matters into her own hands in a desperate attempt to save the one she loves. While there’s so many different elements here, I question how all this is going to wrap up with only two issues left in this miniseries. The Umbra remains to be the main story here but their lack of involvement is disappointing. The artwork in this series continues to be great. I hope this series and a great finish and it all ties in together well.
