Sir Edward Grey, Witchfinder: Lost and Gone Forever #5

Written by Mike Mignola and John Arcudi
Art by John Severin

Three Mignola books in one week is quite a treat, although it probably would make more business sense were Dark Horse to stagger them so that Mignola fans would have a reason to go to the comic store each week.

Anyway, this second Witchfinder series ends very well, as Grey and his new friend Morg confront Eris, along with her army of zombies.  Stuff gets explained, and Grey finishes his mission.  What interested me most about this book was the way in which the final page explains the impact this mission had on Grey's entire career.

The highpoint of this series for me was John Severin's art.  He truly is a master of the craft, and at his advanced age, is as good an artist as he ever was.  I'm not sure how long we're going to have to wait before we see Sir Edward Grey again, but I hope it's not too long.

Sadly it's going to be a very long wait to the third (and at this point I believe final) Witchfinder miniseries.
