    Bring On Some More Revival

    Why I Bought It

    This book continues to be interesting to me. What can I say, it is a charmer.

    What I Liked

    Part of any good mystery is only revealing half the story to the audience and letting the guess work build to complete the story or take a stab at the potential ending. So what we got in this issue was more peeling back the layers of characters as they discover some revelations about themselves and others.

    And it just keeps building.

    I think it would be hard for someone to walk into this book at this point and really understand what could be going on. I don't think that is necessarily a bad thing, but it is some food for thought. Usually that annoys me about a book, but for some reason this book just doesn't make me care about that detail. It is just hitting a good spot.

    What I Didn't Like

    Damn it. Only when I think about the fact that this issue might not be a good issue to start with and I was OK with that does some come up that gives me a reason. That cover is bad ass and very intriguing. So it will be bringing in some new readers. And here it stands not being too new reader friendly.

    A minor point, but one that I will easily over look and forgive.

    Minor art note: when she pulls the arrow out of her chest and there is blood on her shirt, make sure that the blood is visible, especially when you show her at profile jumping over to the other snow mobile and the blood should be visible.

    Panel to Remember

    I'm going to give it to the one page that was given to the girl all bruised and bloody in the snow. (Don't want to give away spoilers beyond that).

    Quotable

    "Waauuuuuuuh." - Those weird things. I'm beginning to like them a little.

      Revival has been one of those series that shocks its readers with disturbing plot twists and visuals while also drawing them in with a murder mystery! It is now five issues in and Tim Seeley and Mike Norton have not slowed down. This series has been outrageous all along, but is it possible for it to become even more insane?This issue seems to be the first of the series that hasn’t introduced new pivotal characters. Rather, it seems that this issue has actually left out a very pivotal character a...
