I think this arc has been fucking rough considering the massive pacing issue. At least SOMETHING is finally happening now.

This is hands-down the most frustratingly drawn-out arc in SIKTC’s history. It feels like we’ve been witnessing Erica’s plan to deal with Cutter and the Duplicitype for months with little payoffs so far. Looking back on recent issues, every solicitation starting with SIKTC #26 mentions some form of Erica in some form of danger due to one or both of these threats in some capacity. That’s NINE issues of the same thing being teased and the status quo not really changing dramatically. With so little to do, this once visually-daring title is reduced to dull panels of individual characters without anything going on in them. To say I’m over this Tribulation arc would be an understatement and I’m getting to the point where I don’t kno w how much longer I can recommend this series as a must-read. James Tynion IV has so many other projects in some stage of publication that it appears this series is no longer getting as much of his attention as it previously did. Perhaps it’s best for Erica to hang up her mask. more
