Summary:
Crazy demons are biting off people's tongues, the reverend gets wasted, and Kyle digs deep into his pain and loneliness with a new friend.
What I Liked
✔Outstanding character development
✔Great dialogue, especially with the drunk reverend, bathroom prayer scene, and Kyle's lunch with Norville
✔Fantastic artwork that really captures the tone of the story-very lonely, isolated, almost hopeless
What I Didn’t Like
✘Other than character development, very little happens to move the actual plot forward.
✘Pacing was excruciatingly slow, even for Kirkman
Themes:
-
Everyone has a story, and it's a good idea to take opportunities to listen and hear those stories before passing judgments.
-
Even those we think have the strongest faith have moments of weakness and doubt.
Score:
8/10
