Sir Edward Grey, Witchfinder: Lost and Gone Forever #3

Written by Mike Mignola and John Arcudi
Art by John Severin

Often, with comics in the exact middle of their run or arc, it's difficult to find much to say about them in a review.  It's much easier at the start of a new series, as there is always plenty to talk about.  When a run finishes, it's always tempting to look back over the finished piece in its entirety.  But, when you're in the middle of the story, there's not always much to talk about.

That seems to be the case with this issue of Witchfinder.  I am enjoying the book a great deal (definitely more than I did the first volume), and I am absolutely adoring the art of John Severin.  There's just not much of note that happens in this issue, except for a few things that serve to advance the plot.

Grey and his new friend deal with the undead creature that attacked them before, and are later attacked by a strange dog-creature.  They are slowly getting to know one another better, although there is a lot of mystery still surrounding Morgan.  Also, the man that Grey has come to America to find finally turns up, in a strange scene involving a local Aboriginal tribe.  It's good stuff.
