by Jeff LemireAs a long-running series like this gets closer and closer to its big finish, it becomes ever more difficult to say anything new about the final few issues.
Abbot, the main villain of this series, is approaching the small Alaskan town where Jeppard, Gus, and the rest of the cast have holed up. Jeppard and Jimmy, his old hockey buddy, plan on holding off the attackers so that Becky can escape with the hybrid children.
As usual, plans don't work out the way they are supposed to, and this is probably the bloodiest and most violent issue of this series to date.
Lemire continues to play around with the layout of his pages, and continues to do some very cool things with this book. I love the two facing pages where Jimmy lights some dynamite as a way of slowing down Abbot's men. The lit fuse travels around one page before blowing up the explosives on the opposite one. It's little tricks like that that have kept this series so entertaining from the beginning.
