The Sacrificers #4

Finally, we see the connection at the heart of The Sacrificers #4, what exactly is the sacrifice, and who reaps the actual benefits. While everyone repeats that this is all for the best for everyone, we cannot help but wonder who really gets the benefit and whether the cost is, in fact, too high. Read Full Review

THE SACRIFICERS #4 is a gut punch of an issue that grapples with the aftermath of the sacrifice and sets the stage for trouble among the gods. Remenders transition issue packs a wallop, and Fiumaras art is glorious. Read Full Review

Remender and Fiumara deliver an intriguing new issue that masterfully builds up the horrors and tensions happening within the world of the gods. Read Full Review

Fiumara delivers great art throughout the issue. I love the visual style of the series and the world of these characters. Read Full Review

There's some proper adventure to be had once we get to issue #5. And while I can't wait for it and, again, that better mean more stuff with Pigeon it's my hope that this book retains that smaller, quieter focus and accompanying ability to jab our souls with tiny blades. If it can, then this will be a book most of us will never recover from, no matter the available elixirs. Read Full Review

The Sacrificers #4 continues to impress with its meticulous storytelling and captivating character development. The plot remains intricately woven, with each character playing a vital role in the rich tapestry of themes that underscore the narrative. Read Full Review

There's no doubt that Fiumara's depictions of these bourgeois beings and their transformations are stirring and the sulking behavior of the mysterious foreman adds a new wrinkle, but after waiting a month and paying full cover price The Sacrificers #4 moves its narrative along at a lethargic pace.

This starts out well with a visit back to the pigeon family where we see the father wallowing. I can't really feel sorry for the guy who beat his son mercilessly and tossed him in a barn. I really just wanted to slap the guy, but I understood the guilt. The rest of the issue is slow and there was a reveal of what the elixir does though the fear one hasn't emerged yet.

This issue fell a tad flat after Rick Remender had done such an amazing job building tension towards the big payoff revealed in the previous issue. The title of the series was foreboding enough to indicate the excited revelry on display was a subterfuge, yet Remender’s story made you want to be wrong. Now that we know what’s happening, this issue took a pivot and mostly focused on those at the top of the food chain. That led to a big drop in the emotional weight that permeated the first three issues. The book’s ending implies we’re going to stay focused on the those in power and how their hubris may be their downfall. The opening panels featuring the pigeon family didn’t suffice either as the father’s breakdown felt unearned aft er he previously didn’t show any sense of grief or unease for his actions or what was expected of his family. I’m hoping we can get back to the emotion and tension of Issues #1-3, because this was a pretty standard read. more
