I want to start this review very simple and make sure that you know to
look at everything in this book, ahem… LOOK AT EVERYTHING IN THIS BOOK.
Read it, love it but come back for seconds on the visuals. Riley you sly
bastard you snuck in so much extra goodness, it was like eating a Milky
Way but then as you go along you realize that your candy bar is turning
into a Snickers. Layer upon layer and it all leads up to one creepy as
hell ending that made me go, AHHHH!!!!! I’m not even talking about the
story yet people! Plain and simple perfect artist for this book, the
perfect score
shows that.
Story: 4.5 out of 5
A Mystery huh? I can take what you can dish out Mr. Wiebe, and I can
enjoy it all. Unlike issue #1 some of the mystery of this place called
Green Wake begins to come together, but that doesn’t mean more questions
can’t arise. The dialogue in this issue was amazing, what the cast
discusses leads to some of the smaller answers I was after. The pacing
is great, and I have to say that this book works page after page because
of how well it is plotted out. Still some good things need to be sorted
out here, but overall I am just loving what I am reading.

I guess you all read my advance review on issue #1, ran out and bought
it right? I mean it sold out so fast. The reason it did that was because
of the talent of the creative team. Rossmo was made to draw this book
and Wiebe is nothing short of Picasso like writer on the story. This
story is so close to perfection it’s scaring me. Matter of fact I think
it’s safe to say that this head is hooked and well I need more and I
need it now. You need to be reading this book, because it is going to
get turned up to 11 very soon.
