Crowded #5
Things go from bad to oh-crap as the Reapr-shaped net of bad hitmen and desperate civilians begins to close around Charlie and Vita. As their library hideout comes under assault and the campaign rolls past two million dollars, the Million Dollar Girl and the 1.4-Star Bodyguard have to make some hard choices. And quickly, because Trotter’s master plan is finally unfolding, all with a little help from Circe.

Have I mentioned how much I’ve been enjoying this series. It’s so different from everything else I’ve been reading lately. I really like the core plot of this issue, as well as all the other crowd funded and sourced projects they’ve hinted about in the background. Not only does it support the existence of ‘Reapr’ but…I hate to say it, it ties in well with what’s been happening lately (the new reliance on crowd funding to pay for emergencies and medical bills). Sorry to get heavy there, but I’m sure that was intentional on the creative teams part.
I feel like every issue does a decent job of hinting at what’s really happening behind the scenes. We don’t yet know why the hit was put out on Charlie, or why so many people were willing to throw money towards her death…but we’re getting a better idea of her character.
Vita is a bit easier to understand (though we still don’t know her whole backstory either). That being said, she’s still my favorite character for the series. She’s badass, stubborn, and refuses to give up, no matter what. Oh and she likes the dog that’s in the series, so that’s a bonus.
This issue went from being a more emotional point (remember the cliffhanger from the last issue?) to an even more intense conclusion. I feel like I’m on the edge of my seat waiting for the next issue to drop. I have to find out how Vita plans on getting them out of this one…

Still on Track and Picking up Speed
After two strong opening issues I thought we started to go in circles in Issue #3. In Issue #4 we began to move forward again. This #5 builds on that and keeps amping up the momentum. We get more backstory on our two main characters, Vita and Charlie, spend less time with Trotter and Circe, and have some amusing Vita/Charlie chats, punctuated by sneaky humor.
With a lot less monologuing, and less attention to the side characters, there's more room for the Vita-Charlie banter that keeps this tale energized. The art seems to have gone back to the crisp, colorful, kinetic style I liked so much in Issue #1. And it looks like everything is moving to a socko finish, (at least for this arc). So, it's all good.

I am digging this. From Krispy Kremlin to bathroom-stall dramas, this is a delightfully fun experience with a touch of morbid psychology.
There's a lot of depth to side-characters, and I feel the mysteries being revealed will pay off splendidly.
40.25/50

Cliff hanger at the end. I like where this is going.

Takes on an eerie prescience with regards to recent events...
