The End. * * * RATING: B This title is so good that it *hurts* This episodes shows the three focal villains of this title brought together by a funeral invitation from a mysterious 'Edmond Dantes', who died long, long ago. Although the sender never reveals himself, it's clear that this individual is critically tied to the lives of these three, and at the slightest hint of his return, our protagonists are driven into a madhouse of nerves, and as all-too-willing viewers, we are pulled into their chaotic hell. Although fans of the book know the conclusion to this story, one can't help but be amazed by the sheer suspense this title engenders -- the pacing is perfect, the allusions are well-placed, and the drama defies description. Literally everything in this title can be analyzed to no end, and between the subtle clues from Morcef's French documents and Boville's corpse, one simply *crumples* in awe. This title has been golden ever since it started, and with the emergence of Edward Dantes, one can hardly wait for more. * * * disagree? read 10 comments! * * * Related Reviews
