The Solicitation
Inspector Suttle, closing in on the perpetrator of the impossible crime, must escape the living terror of Zone B’s East End if he is to chase down the remaining leads. Can the living ever let the dead go free? And if the investigation extends beyond the cordoned comfort of London, into the bleak Restless Wastes, what other horrors will he face?
No Preview.
Why I Bought It
Continuing with this story, against my better judgement. It is the halfway point after all.
What I Liked
The art is consistent. Very consistent, and I'm liking that. You know what to expect. There is this whole world that is being developed and we have spent the first four issues building it all up.
What I Didn't Like
See what I liked.
What's the point? Oh, there was a murder. has there been anything else? Are we supposed to be exposed to something else? Is there anything else going on? I really feel like I am missing something.
Oh yea, the point of the comic.
At the halfway point, we should be able to see the end game, or at least be able to tell where it is going. What it feels like is that it is still building up as if this series will go past 8 issues. If I knew that it was an ongoing, then it may be more interesting, but since it is limited, we need to be at a certain place in the story by now, and this just doesn't feel like it.
I'm really, really hesitant to buy the next issue off the rack. I have the feeling that I would be seeing more in the quarter bin and I wouldn't miss it until I flipped to it when browsing.
Panel to Remember
The zombies walking around on fire. Why don't they just set the whole lot of them on fire? Why bother taking the cure and setting up all this nonsense?
Quotable
"Go arn! Leave him alone or I'll bloody well kick your balls off!" - Just hilarious to try and say and definitely shows not to take the character seriously.
Grades

Buy Next Issue: I'll preview it a bit, then I might wait to buy it either in digital form or in the quarter bins.
