Dying Breath: 4.5 out of 5
Oh my friends this is one book you should not miss. I want to
start with the visuals, Ben Dunn you are sick, because this book looks
amazing! From one panel to the next panel I was never let down. Also to
the art side I say thank you for not using any grey in this issue, it
seemed to add to the edge of the story. Oh the story, this is one you
HAVE to read. Did I say should, could or might want to? No, I said HAVE
to read. Very seldom are we as horror comic readers presented with what I
would say is a real interpretation of how things might go down. It’s
not always black and white in terms of good and bad, so for this book to
be able to fill in that grey area (you see how I did that with the
colors) and not be afraid to show you what could happen is amazing.
Keene and Oliveri have won me over on this one, and the title is such on
play on what happens. UGH, I just can not seem to stop gushing on how
much I enjoyed this book. You HAVE to read this book!
