Comfortably Numb
The story backs off the conflict between Andrew and Mary and introduces us to some of Andrew's allies in the war against Mary's vampire army.
The Good
We finally get a little bit of a breather. The last two issues were basically just a sparring match between Andrew and Mary, with each side sort of sharpening their claws and testing the defenses of the others. I felt like the story wasn't really going anywhere, but now that Mary is out of the picture for one issue and we're introduced to some of the characters that are going to be helping Andrew out, we're finally getting a sense that this story is really building towards something big.
On top of positive developments in the story, we're treated with more beautiful art, this time with the color palette swapped for cooler blues and greens rather than the red/orange/brown thing we had going on in the first two issues. There's an amazing two page spread of Andrew eviscerating a wild vampire (in the 1960s no, less) with a pair of twin Japanese swords (the handles are a bit long, but otherwise they look good). This is just a good looking book that stands out in the art department.
The Bad
This series really has the worst covers. The absolute worst. No offense to the cover artist, but really what is going on when the covers are worse than the interiors. I just don't understand.
The Verdict
After a bumpy start, this series is finally picking up. If you haven't read #1 or 2, don't worry, this is a fine a point as any to jump on and enjoy what I'm hoping will be one of the best new books to come out of the new 52. My faith in this series is fully restored after this.
