This exploration of the fleetingness of creativity and talent has been a very enjoyable series. Will Garland, in this issue, confronts the embodiment of the number 9, and the Erebus, which has been plaguing him. His argument is that true creative genius - be it musical, artistic, or otherwise - can not be given or gifted, but must be earned through hard work and perseverance. It's an interesting argument, especially when tossed in the face of an all-powerful entity that views itself as being responsible for the breadth of human creativity.
Twenty-Seven has been a very cool series. When it started, I expected it was going to go in a different direction (although I'm not sure what that would have been), although I really enjoyed the track that it took.
On the back cover, there is an ad for Twenty-Seven: Second Set. I'm not sure that there is a lot of room left here for sequels - to my mind, this is a very nicely self-contained story, but I'm curious to see where the creators move next with this.
