This is issue is a lot of build up.. There is going to be one hell of a battle after all this. We get some flashback to Van Helsing’s mothers past – by way of her journal, although we have no idea how that links to the current situation. I’m sure it does though. We also meet one of Van Helsing’s associates – some interesting ideas there, with maybe something to consider (or look out for) in the future.
This was a good issue and it seems to show the stakes (no pun intended) with this series, with a major attack on those van Helsing cares for.
I like that this is a slower issue, as there is still a few more issue to go in this mini series. Van Helsing is a good character for these sort of arcs, and showing her team is a good aspect too.
The art is excellent – with some nice crisp scenes and good use of colour and shadow (very little light!)
