I do, however, feel there's a lack of narrative momentum at present. Something can be beautifully, intelligently and creatively presented and still fail to engage on a narrative level and that, I believe, is the case here. I have mostly been in awe of Ellis' ability to keep the many plates spinning, but there's some wobbling going on at the moment and it's got me concerned.

Angie's first-person view only increases empathy for her and immersion in the story.

There was room for further development of the Thunderbook Project, which could have been inserted through flashbacks instead of those two splash pages or the panels with Lynch entering the house. But the dialogue between Angie and Jenny really made me love this issue, it was natural and colloquial. A character-relationship class that opens the door to joining The Authority in a very organic way, which is one of the benefits of the pace of this series. About the meeting between Gloria and Lynch, I thought it was great to build the panels around the central hexagon (base form of the tower), while we have the movement of the character in the air and the dialogue flowing, as an architect can say that was the perfect union between graphic narrative and architectural space. Gloria is also interesting as a character, it is an interpretation of the evil witch's archetype: it does not age, it floats, it follows a hedonistic lifestyle, it has a connection with the house it owns (here almost alive through its powers). About the last dialogue between Cole and Angie, I find it a bit unnecessary for her to need to learn from him about the operation of weapons, since she herself can search for it on something called the internet. I think this dialogue only serves only to tighten the bond between them to validate Angie's escape for Jenny's group.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09886770121623440419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8557726951171561616.post-79266131736339473962018-08-15T17:49:31.896-04:002018-08-15T17:49:31.896-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09886770121623440419noreply@blogger.com
