Written by Robert Kirkman and Nick SpencerArt by Shawn Martinbrough
It's taken five issues, but now Kirkman and Spencer have made clear what they are doing with this comic, and have more or less set out a path for the plot to follow (not that we know the significance of the empty painting at the beginning of issue one and the end of issue four yet). Prior to this, we've been spending a lot of time just getting to know Redmond and his family.
This issue shows us what ever happened to Redmond's brother-in-law, who was in the flashbacks for issue two, but hasn't been seen since. It also introduces all of the remaining members of Redmond's crew, who are each given one page.
This results in a quick read, but still, this issue is very enjoyable. Kirkman and Spencer are putting an interesting twist on the standard heist drama, and having established the characters so well prior to the crime actually beginning, they've made me actually care about what happens to Redmond and his son.
Great work all around on this comic, but Shawn Martinbrough deserves some special recognition for his astounding art.
