Written by Greg RuckaArt by Matthew Southworth
This is a pretty good week for over-due Oni books. The third issue of Stumptown is decent, although I'm not sure if I found it as good as the first two. Dex, our hard-luck PI has found Charlotte, the girl she's been looking for, but she's with Isabel. Immediately after this, they also run into the two thugs that attacked her back in the first issue. Things don't go well for Dex...
With this issue, we do finally learn the real story of what's going on between Charlotte, Isabel, and her brother Oscar. No one believes that Dex is working for Charlotte's family, hence the reason why she has been met with so much distrust.
The writing is this book is really good, although this issue didn't feel as dense as the first two. As well, Southworth's art looked a little rushed in comparison to the previous installments. There are some stunning pages though, such as the double-page spread set at Mount Tabor. This book continues to be very interesting and worthy of a lot of attention.
