Slowing Down to Tell The Story
Okay, after the breakneck speed of the first issue the second chapter of the Witch War story slows down the pace quite a bit.
The artwork is still hot, with Tarot in a towel most of the issue while she and her new friend Jon trade secret origins.
Brian Lumley of Necroscope fame should maybe get a royalty cheque on this one folks, but oh well, Jon can talk to the dead and acts as a battery so can draw them out. Tarot is a good witch. Tarot's sister, Raven Hex is a bad one. We even get to see Tarot's whole family unit, Ma, Pa, and all.
The story has caught up with all the action that was in the first issue, it will be really interesting to see what happens coming up. Unfortunately I have this hunch, I hope it isn't THAT lame, but let's see, if all Raven Hex wants to do (the reason she turned evil) is to raise her dead father, and Jon communicates with the dead... I hope it's not some mushy storyline where Jon shows Raven Hex her dead father, her father talks to her and blah blah blah, everything s all fine and dandy now. No, I have to give the writer Jim Balent SOME credit... lets see where this takes us!
