This Thanksgiving gave me a nice reading window that allowed me to get through a few more things from the growing pile. While I cooked a traditional holiday meal, I was thankful for both the additional reading time, and some decent writing, Since I had a larger pool to pick from, I will talk about three items rather than just one.
Black Widow continues to keep my attention. I have read many Widow stories but this one has proven the journey so far is worth the $12. Issue 3 transitions the story in the previous two, revealing the antagonists and triggering the projected direction. This continues in my top 10, so you may want to grab issue 1 and give it a go.
Next is Stillwater #3. The story is about a guy returning to his home town where native resident are resurrected if they die. The town hides this fact even to the extent of killing strangers if they find out. Issue 3 reveals that it is not just the people that resurrect, but the vegetation and animals as well. Will this guy get away or die trying?
Autumnal #3 continues the story of a wayward woman and her daughter as they settle into their new home in the town of Autumnal. Not unlike Stillwater, the town has something to hide and our main character is just getting hints that something is amiss. The plot does focus on the woman trying to change her life in hopes her daughter does not live the same path she had. The discussion of removing a tattoo gave some dimension to the character and still relates to the plot, which is a nice change.
