Spoilers, Top Story

Image Comics and Nocterra #4 Spoilers and Review follows.

Enemy In The Family!

The book has a few more variant covers in addition to the above.

Plus the main cover.

We open with a creator a creators credits page…


…while the book ends with a warning.

In-between we get a bit more on the history between Val and…

…her brother Emory…

…who in modern day is fighting off, or at least trying to fight off, becoming a shade.

While Val and Bailey go on a mission, that wasn’t as successful as they’d hope looking for a powerful solar lamp to rid Em of his affliction…

…he attacks them when they get back; he wants them to leave him and leave him up to fate which they won’t do.

Elsewhere Blacktop Bill is talking to someone about the Book that he’s after that Bailey has while her grandfather Gus has turned into or is turning into a shade on his car’s roof.

Val’s rig gets them close to their destination, but…

…they need to walk the rest of the way and encounter shades, but…

…they encounter salvation in the form of their destination…

…in the form of Tiberius, Gus’ brother, and…

…seemingly keeper, generator or “something” as it relates to sunlight!

Next up is Nocterra #5 on shelves on July 7, 2021.

The Pulse:

Another compelling issue that balanced characterization, worlds building, and exploring the past while moving forward in the present well. Solid art to boot. 9 out of 10.
