Artwork: 4.0 out of 5
This is a really nice looking issue. I like the oddly shaped
characters, it gives them a very original feel while maintaining their
purpose. The same can be said about the coloring and cover. The action
scenes were done very well as I got a very good feel for what was going
on. I really enjoyed this style, and plan on looking more into
Tomajok’s work.
Story: 2.5 out of 5
I won’t beat around the bush on this one. The story started really
strong and just fizzled out at the end. I liked the mystery and buildup
that was taking place, but I kinda felt I was left hanging at the end.
It just seemed rushed. The dialogue left to showcase the action but the
final page just seemed like an after school special. It’s sad too
because I really thought it was going somewhere good. Possibly could
have been a two part issue as some aspects that were touched on didn’t
seem very necessary with the end result.
Dying Breath: 3.0 out of 5
Overall I will say that the art saved this one. The story started off
really well, but just went flat at the end if you ask me. I think it
could have had more to it if a few things had shifted around. This was
my first chance to take a look at this series and I can say I plan on
reading some more issues in the near future.
