Die #3

I absolutely adore the steady buildup that this series has been doing. Each issue makes the world feel more real, and in this instance, that’s actually pretty terrifying. This is not a world I would wish on my worst enemies.
I love that this issue took the time to humanize the NPC’s in this world. It may seem like an odd choice, but our main characters are living and risking their lives in this world - literally – so doesn’t it make sense that the other people filling the world would feel more real as well?
There was one character, in particular, that was introduced that I found fascinating. I hope we see him again because I am very curious about him. I also love the way some of the main characters’ abilities work – and how sometimes just being human in this world is enough to trigger something larger. It’s beautifully done.
The artwork for this issue was absolutely striking – but that’s really no surprise. All of the artwork for this series has proven to be breathtaking – both the beautiful scenes and the horrifying ones.
