Reviews

[Bill · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another great Prisoner story, backed up with fine artwork and plenty of nods to the original TV series.

This issue seems rather unnecessary. Not really revealing anything nor doing anything of significance, Book C mostly just moves the players into the right places for the climatic final issue (which is next.)

Okay, I will admit, that ending was important to the overall story. But that was it.

Thankfully, this is a beautifully written and illustrated issue. Another triumph in that regard by Dean Motter with Mark Askwith. But really, in retrospect, this series could have done with just 3 issues instead of 4.
