Greek Street #11

Written by Peter Milligan

This issue, which closes off the Cassandra Complex arc, feels like it could have been the ending of the whole series.  Milligan gives us closure on a number of plotlines, as Eddie escapes the Fureys and the police, and confronts Lord Menon.  Dedalus outs himself, and Eddie receives purification at the hands of the witches that keep showing up.

This has been a frustrating series, especially through the first volume, but now that things have been established, I'm starting to enjoy it much more.  It looks like the next arc is going to be completely different though, with a story featuring a soldier in Afghanistan.  I have no idea if we're going to see Eddie and his contemporaries again, or if this title is going to start taking a page out of Northlander's book, and become a series of thematically linked arcs.
