Written by Dan AbnettArt by INJ Culbard
As we reach the penultimate issue of The New Deadwardians, Dan Abnett is still piling on the intrigue. The issue opens with the intrepid Inspector Suttle being attacked by some Bright (human) Londoners. Suttle being Young (a vampire), is able to easily defend himself, but he has no defence for the surprises that Mr. Salt heaps upon him.
By the time he has finished interviewing his only suspect in the murder of Lord Hinchcliffe, Suttle is not sure of anything anymore, including his own complicity in the murder, and in the Restless (zombie) incursion that killed his own cook.
Abnett has constructed an interesting alternate history with this book, and then populated it with an interesting character.
INJ Culbard's art is the real star of this book though. He's got a Guy Davis meets Rick Geary quality to his work that I enjoy. This issue feels looser than the previous ones, at least during the action sequences, and it works very well.
