Dusk is a good comic and all and McGregor does good with it and all but I’m shocked he could pull this issue off.
He resolves a drowning cliffhanger, he corrects his plotting problem from last issue very obviously (Dusk actually investigating), he has two or three major action sequences, he has a hallucination and he has an epilogue.
And it’s all fantastic. Even that leftover scene with Dusk’s interview for his investigation, even it works.
McGregor changes up the emphasis a little the issue. These scenes work because of the characters. McGregor has been gently establishing them, both in scene and in Dusk’s narration, and he uses that familiarity to make his scenes work here.
Colan’s art is fantastic. The way he can do a big scene in two pages, but then slow down for an action layout where only a few seconds pass on the page.
Outstanding work.
