I really can not complain about this comic these days. As Tom Taylor moves closer to finishing his conflict with The Cabal, the stakes get progressively higher, and the story steadily becomes more exciting.
In this issue, the newly-reinvigorated Tom (thanks to some digital-era Tinkerbell hand clapping) sets off to confront The Cabal before his powers wane. This involves resurrecting a long-dead architect, and wading into his enemies' base without a plan, appropriate back-up, or anything else. It feels like whenever Tom has a lot of power, he also develops a fair amount of hubris.
Anyway, there are a few things that are not really working for me here - like the fact that no one would have bothered to look for the Frankenstein monster that got left in the middle of Antarctica before moving on with their plan, but the way in which The Cabal chooses to combat Tom's incursion is pretty interesting, and amusing.
Does anyone know if The Unwritten is expected to end soon? It feels like this book is moving towards a big finish, but I haven't heard anything to that effect.
