"Come out and play with Uncle Norman!"
What's Good?
It's hard to understand Norman Osborn's actions until they take shape. Underneath his calmness and intelligence lies a demon waiting to come out. Kelly Sue DeConnick continues to present an incredible story. The supporting characters like Senator Muffoletto stand out with Muffoletto in the beginning basically describing what kind of person she is (and Osborn unintentionally). Again out of the group besides Osborn, June Covington is my favorite, showing off some more of her unique abilities.
Emma Rios’ artwork is fantastic with this issue. The prison riot pages are brutal as the chaos continues to spread throughout. Seeing Osborn fighting to establish his superiority was just fun to watch.
What's Bad?
Other the slow pacing when it switches to Senator Muffoletto, nothing is wrong with this issue.
Overall: This is my favorite issue so far. With only two issues left, anything can happen. Will Osborn actually succeed in breaking out? Time will tell.
