The more I read this book . . the more I like it. It's not exactly the horror story that I expected from Steve Niles, but . . that's ok. There's is some blood and carnage displayed throughout this book, but . . it's not just schlock for shlock's sake. It's an integral part of the story. Anyways, we moved on from the grand conspiracy story that ran through the first 12 issues. This issue Simon seems to be after some more down to Earth criminals. This issue it appears that he's after a possible child molestor. I say possible because he hasn't really done anything yet. But, we find out this issue, Simon seems to have visions about certain people. Visions that seems to include possible future behavior. Which he also seems to be able to share . . as he does with Rachel. There also is another 'loose-cannon' running around the city. This one seems to be separating people from their body parts . . limb by limb, and their heads. We only get a glimpse of him though. It's not a big part of the story yet. And we get some more information about Simon's past. It's a very small piece though. Barely negligible . . seriously. I think as far as putting all of that together, it's going to be a very long time in coming. As usual, Scott Hampton's artwork for this series is phenomenal. Scott first came to my attention way back in some of the Pacific Comics. That was the first time I really saw his work. But even then, I knew he was going to be special. I think his work on this series is some of the best I've ever seen from him. This is a book I bought on a lark, but . . I'm enjoying it more and more as the series progress.
