Middlewest continues Abel’s epic quest for answers, but once again I find myself surprised by one turn of events or another in this series. I love how unpredictable the series is. You’d think that it might set me on edge or make me anxious to read it, but it really doesn’t. Instead, I’m already finding myself looking forward to it each month.
The characters are really starting to grow on me. I liked Abel from the start, but it’s still been good to get a chance to know him better. And obviously to learn along with him about just what exactly is happening to him. I wanted to like Fox right from the start, but that felt too easy, too safe. The more I see Fox though, the more I can see how he’s a clever writing tool. Fox’s inclusion allows Abel to talk out loud, without having to add in an excuse for another person to be following him around. For all we know Fox can’t actually speak, and Abel just thinks he can. Or perhaps Fox isn’t there at all, but merely all part of Abel’s imagination. I personally hope neither of those theories ends up being accurate, but you never know.
And obviously, I’m still absolutely in love with the artwork for this series. It’s just so gorgeous. I can’t get over the linework or the coloring.
