Sorrentino's art is unrivaled and he still manages to push the visual boundaries with every issue. Alongside that, Lemire's writing continues to go to unexpected places--every page landing with an impact and achieving so much with so little.

This entire creative team works so well. Gideon Falls story has been standout quality from the very beginning, and it keeps raising the bar.

That was.. underwhelming? I hope it's more than basically a multiple worlds/dimensions machine and attracting some cosmic horror that lurks between worlds.

O.K., That Was Intense

This Issue #11 closes out the second Gideon Falls arc, although there's clearly lots more yet to come.

Norton, Father Fred, Daniel, the multi-verse, maybe time travel, some "Event Horizon" horror? -- don't know, but there's room for all of that and more.

Increasingly, it's the art that keeps grabbing the reader. It sells the vast scope of the tale, controls the mood, organizes the action, and advances the schizo mind worlds in which the characters find themselves.

For what it's worth, more and more the issues feature full two page spreads. If possible, you should read this on a bigger screen, and especially one that allows for a two-page spread format. I finally moved to a PC based reader with a big monitor and a two-page option, and that really allowed the splashes to jump out and grab me.

(Please note that I had a chance to read a free ecopy of this book without a review requirement, or any influence regarding review content should I choose to post a review. Apart from that I have no connection at all to either the author or the publisher of this book.)

Holy shit this issue blew me away. The art, panel work, and layouts continue to be fantastically impressive, and the story is constantly haunting and refreshing itself just when you think you know where it's going. It's easy to see why this series continues to be such a success.
