Just from the cover with its mystifying presence, you know that the story would hold mysterious that would draw you in and keep you enthralled. Gaiman does a great job of keeping you consumed in the story from start to finish. There is a sense of urgency, as things are realised and time is short. Throughout the dialogue is on point with the feel of the book. And the interaction between Fury and Strange makes some good reading. Oh, an, I have to say the re-cap page was great.
Straight away Kubert shows us why he is the perfect choice for bring this story to life. His mist veiled landscapes beautifully rendered are a joy to look at. And the scope of emotion that is shown by Fury is pure artistic genius. There is nothing in this issue that is a let down to the eyes. But we also have to give Isonove a lot of credit as well. As, the colouring just seems to bring the best out of Kubert's pencils.
