It's pretty bad that I accidentally skipped the last issue and was just the normal amount of confused I've been throughout this whole series.

Guess I'll read this again after #12 and see if my thoughts change, heh.

...

Ok ... nope. Read #12 and reread this and I'm still confused. 😅

Anybody out there that actually understands this series? Still cool and scary.

Will the Center Hold

We keep hopping through multiple universes; we're getting a sense of the evil at the center; Father Burke is on the trail of the Laughing Man. So, we're on track and moving forward. It's getting clearer, but we're no closer to a resolution. This felt like an issue dedicated to moving pieces around on the board.

This is fun to read as a series of individual issues, but I think that the tp collections, as they come out, will work better for the purpose of understanding what's going on. The art is still great, although this issue didn't have any single piece that really wowed me.

(Please note that, as before with this series, I had a chance to read a free ecopy of this book without a review requirement, or any influence regarding review content should I choose to post a review. Apart from that I have no connection at all to either the author or the publisher of this book.)

The twists keep coming, the art is still amazing, and this series is as good as ever.
