Nocterra #10

Daniel delivers some wonderfully detailed art on every page of this issue. The characters are dynamic, the action is thrilling and the Luna base has this wonderful, industrial look that conveys the tension of the story. Read Full Review

"Pedal to the Metal" has been an apt title to the second arc of Nocterra. The story has moved quickly, but in such a way that leaves readers eager to see what happens next rather than overwhelmed by the action. Tony Daniel has continually made Blacktop Bill and William more visually compelling than silhouettes have any right to be, while Scott Snyders plots have upped the ante with each passing issue. Nocterra #10 ends with a to be concluded" promise, and if its contents are anything to go by, that conclusion should be quite the spectacle. Read Full Review

Nocterra #10 is another exciting chapter. Snyder, Daniel, and Maiolo do a great job with this issue, setting things towards the inevitable end of this part of the story. Nocterra is nothing short of entertaining, and this issue is another example of that. Read Full Review

'Nocterra' #10 is an issue that moves the characters into place and sets up them up for a rather violent looking finale. An issue that gives Blacktop Bill all the best lines as Scott Snyder dares you to like him. And, for me at least, it's working. An entertaining and tantalising issue whetting the appetite for next issue's grand finale. Read Full Review

Nocterra #10 starts out as a talky character piece, showcasing the well-defined heroes of the series and giving a taste of how Scott Snyder's group dynamic is likely to work for the rest of the "Pedal to the Metal" storyline. Unfortunately, a lot of talking-head pages is not something that plays to Tony Daniel's artistic strengths. Read Full Review
