Finally, after almost three years of build-up, just about every secret or mystery that Mike Carey has developed in this series has been explained. Tom Taylor (or should I call him Tommy now?) has a double-lengthed confrontation with Pullman, the real power behind the Cabal that has given Tom so much trouble.
Not surprisingly, Pullman's origin lies in Old Testament times, when his story became one of the first stories, therefore giving him great power and longevity. Now, Pullman wants to die, and figures that manipulating Tom into confronting the Leviathan is the way to do it.
I don't want to give away much of what happened here, except to say that I'm a little surprised that we haven't heard about an end date for this series yet. I can really only see the need for a few more issues, unless Carey has another big surprise waiting for us.
Once again, I'm blown away with Peter Gross. He's been the primary artist on every issue (but one) of this series since it started double-shipping with its 0.5 numbers, and now has drawn an extra-long issue on top of that. I hope he's getting danger pay.
