I am a huge fan of this series, and this issue is no exception. The color in this issue is particularly stunning and it had just the right mix of all of my favorite characters, especially Rollo and Shiloh. The characters in this story are so rich, and their growth so much more meaningful because of its cost. I love the process of grief in this issue, and while some of the latter pages came off as a tiny bit cliche, they were still real and beautiful. Wonderful composition, yet again. Though definitely on the gory side as usual, the whole series is wonderful and I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a gut-punching exploration of family, forgiveness, revenge, and their costs.
