I really like the idea behind Proof (Bigfoot works for a secret government agency tracking down Cryptids - creatures generally thought to be fictional), but this arc doesn't seem to be working as well for me as the previous two.
All of the parts of the story, and this issue in particular, work well as individual parts, but aren't really adding up to anything. I'm concerned that Grecian and Rossmo are biting off more than they can chew, and are cramming way too many sub-plots into each issue.
In this issue we get: Autumn's House of Horrors; the Titanic history of Joe the Golem, Ginger and friends in the sewer, white trash outside a cave, and, in the best part of the book, Proof and the Savage Dragon sitting around the same cave waiting for Dragon's legs (and a certain other part) to finish growing back. Strangely, for the middle of the Thunderbirds arc, there are no living Thunderbirds around.
I'm sure this is a story that will read better in one sitting or in a trade.
