Unlike the last book, this story . . I could give a crap about. I really just don't see what the payoff is going to be here. And these little filler stories in the middle? They're ok, but . . there's not always a point to them. However, this one was more of an extension of the main story. This one actually gave us a little background on Harry and his run-in with Abel. I like Luca Rossi's style of art. It's . . just different. It's hard to explain, but I like it. And this issue they got Henry Flint to do the fill-in story. You remember him, from the Omega Men mini-series. And he used to do Grimjack way back when for First Comics. Anyways, he also has a cool style. This story is trying to explain to us just what it is that's going on in the basement. But it still doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Somehow Harry and Fig are intimately connected to this house. We don't know all the 'hows' & 'whys' yet, but . . . that seems to be what they're trying to explain. Also, we seem to have this big Spider kind of character who's called Bette Noir. I guess she's like the ultimate nightmare. She lives in the basement. And this has something to do with Harry's first waitress, Miranda. Who now seems to be stuck in a self-narrating story. Then out of nowhere . . we get this page of art and dialogue that shows Cress, I think, shagging everybody she can through the time that she's been here. Including Harry. I'm not sure what that was all about, but it must have something to do with the story. I guess this book has potential. It just seems like we're getting a lot of random pieces right now. It would be really hard for someone to just pick up this book that hasn't been there since issue #1. They'd be completely lost. I guess you could wait for the TPB. If you're that interested.
