She’s actually being watched by someone(s)…
…as she’s greeted by an intruder alert!
Turns out the Temporal Criminal and the Temporal Sheriff are sisters!
The Pulse:
The story is the kind of balls-to-wall kind-of-story you expect from Garth Ennis. I don’t think the swearing adding to the story, but perhaps others do. The art by Goran Sudzuka fits with the string of artists Ennis has worked in the past who have a cartoony style to contrast the gore and vulgarity peppered in his stories. Lots of action and intrigue in this issue and a compelling lead; the sister revelation was a great way to end the issue. 7.5 out of 10.
