More is revealed involving Kurt’s death, and it puts Daniel and Kurt at odds once again. A mole is exposed within The Agency and Haunt must come to a decision involving his future. Do not miss the stunning end to the introductory arc of this hot new series."
I won't get into the details of what happened in this issue because I don't want to spoil how the arc ended because wow, it was incredible! I was surprised and I imagine I'm not the only one who's eyes got big with what happened. I loved this issue.
Sadly, this was the last issue that Ryan Ottley is drawing but the good news is our boy Greg Capullo will be taking over all the penciling duties on the book and personally I think he's better than Ottley so I see this as an upgrade.
Still very impressed and interested in this book and happy that it keeps coming out every month which has me pretty surprised. With all the delays in Spawn and the delay on Image United #3 I wonder if McFarlane will be able to keep up with his inking duties on this book. From a sales perespective something tells me this has to be the most important book in his stable right now as it's selling considerably better than Spawn and doing better than Image United.
What did you think of this issue and the conclusion of the arc?
