Rapture #3

by Michael Avon Oeming and Taki Soma

I'm increasingly finding myself on the fence with this title, and I'm not sure what's not working. The art is great - I've always enjoyed Oeming's work. The concept is very strong - a post-Apocalyptic world where people are used to having heroes do everything for them, but there are no heroes left. I like the separated lovers hook, and the Spectre character looks very cool. Oh, and there's cannibals (the new zombies?).

So I'm not sure why this book is impressing me more. Partly, I think it's because Evelyn is not a likable character, but then, that doesn't usually stop me from enjoying a comic.

It could be that this is just an 'off' issue. I'll see what next month brings.
