Well I don’t really know what is left to be said about Rossmo’s work on
this book. I would say GORE-Geous again, but I have before. I would say I
had an eyegasm, but I have before. I think all that is left to be said
is that from what I have seen of Riley’s work, this is the book he was
just perfect for. This issue itself has 2 pages that just made me drop
down to my neck and beg for more. The first was a full-page panel that
consisted of a murder, and I won’t say no more. The second was the final
page of the book, where I just internally wept due to how perfect it
appeared before my eyes.
Story: 5.0 out of 5
What is going on here, the mystery is unraveling and I am getting the
answers I sought out for so long ago. This issue begins to bring things
together, and it does it so perfectly while adding on one final enigma
to the events. The dialogue is as spot on as ever, but where this issue
excelled was the pacing. There were short downtime moments followed
quickly by intense action. This issue was just done right.

Making the perfect comic book takes something a little extra. First you
need to have the 2 right people for the job(for the most part 2 people
work on a book). Second you must have the right idea, so that when a
decapitated reviewer reads it, he knows that no one else could fill in
for either the story or artwork for that particular issue. Rossmo and
Wiebe reached that plateau in this issue and I hope it takes a long time
before they think of climbing down. Of course in order to do that Green Wake
needs to go past 5 issues. This issue was nothing but solid and I can
not wait to see how everything plays out in #5. I can’t even say you
should check this out because, you should have been reading this one
from the start.
