The Solicitation
Conrad's son, Augustus, has done everything he can to live up to his father's legacy. The simple fact is he just isn't that good a thief. His bungling has left him exposed, but will Agent Cohen be able to trace Augustus back to his father, finally catching Conrad red-handed?

The Story
This was a comic that got picked up for a TV show?

See that person on the cover? That's Special Agent Elizabeth Cohen. She has a big grudge against our title character for some reason. And she has royally screwed up catching him. So now she is going after the next best thing - Conrad's son who has apparently taken up some of his father's work.

One thing about Walking Dead is that it is a very linear story. It doesn't flash backwards in time that often. This comic wants to jump around a lot. And it does so without any kind of artistic cues that a time shift has happened. No text box, no change of art, nothing.

I got this issue hoping to give the third issue a try just to see if I could get into it. I regret that I did.

The Art
Wide angles everywhere. Four panels to a page, and sometimes a little extra added. Same comments as before.

The Cover
I'm not quite sure what the deal is with the one brown figure that is in the middle right of the cover. It is just out of place and doesn't serve too much of a purpose to me.

Grades
Words: 3/10
Pictures: 5/10
Recommend: I think this will be the kind of book that you either love or hate. I chose just to not read it.
Buy Next Issue: Definitely not. I really have to stop giving comics one extra issue when I realize that they are not for me.
