Who is Jake Ellis? #3

Written by Nathan Edmondson
Art by Tonci Zonjic

I'm really enjoying Who is Jake Ellis?.  Edmondson is pacing this book beautifully, and making very good use of the unique situation Jon, the main character, finds himself in.  He has a man, the titular Jake, living in his head, able to see things all around him and make connections and predictions quicker than a normal person can.  Basically, Jake is like a Spidey-sense that you can communicate with. 

This means that Jake and Jon have been able to stay a few steps ahead of the mysterious men from 'The Facility' that have been pursuing them across Europe.  In this issue, Jon and Jake reconcile after their disagreements of last month, and put together a plan that should lead them to the mysterious Facility, and hopefully help them understand just what was done to them.

This is a very taut story, which plays with some of the better conventions of spy and heist movies, as Jon doubles back on trains, and abducts one of his pursuers.  Tonci Zonjic's art is terrific, as he plays around a little with his colours during a nightclub scene.  In all a very cool comic.
