The depth and complexity of characterization in this story is astounding. The composition is wonderful as ever, really underpinning the story, characters, and themes, which of themselves are rich and detailed. All of the characters are so compelling, and I love following their journeys, especially when some of them feel so inevitably tragic (reminds me a little of Of Mice and Men, actually). In this issue I especially enjoyed Rollo's speech and the interplay between Thea and Jerome. The contrast between Jerome's appearance in the past and the present was especially compelling as well, specifically changes in age, feeling, and most impressively, emotional/spiritual weight. Though again, the comic is very gruesome and I wouldn't recommend it to people who struggle with gore, if you're looking for a fresh, philosophical, and beautifully detailed take on a revenge story--especially if you want an extra twist with the family relations, I would highly, highly recommend this series. One of my all time favorites for sure.

Extremity has a depth to it that I didn't think it would have when I first started the series. One of my top 10 current comics.
