Could it be? There’s no listing on Brian’s website for buying these three issues together yet, have I maybe finally managed to catch up to him? Ha ha no. There’s still two more issues of the series for me to read, among other things. It’s more likely that he’s behind on updating his website than he is behind on putting out comics. Oh, and you’re welcome for the bonus schmutz that I accidentally scanned with the covers. I like to keep it real around here! Anyway, overall this story does seem to be heading towards a conclusion, as our heroes keep getting closer and closer to Facelift. #19 is where everybody finds out that Facelift has no finger prints on file, meaning he’s never had plastic surgery, which seems impossible in this world. I have my own theory as to why that might be the case, but since half the fun of a mystery like this is finding out the answer, I’ll keep it to myself (this also lessens how stupid I’ll look later if I’m completely wrong). #20 has Liz and Kim get their date redirected to check on a movie star, and as you can probably guess from how the rest of the series has gone, a wellness check is rarely going to end well. It even takes things a step further than that, which is why I made that cryptic comment earlier in the review. Finally #21 has a “View” like show discussing current events, followed by a very brief moral dilemma by our journalist friend Jorge. The killer seems to be contacting him directly, but he got fined the last time he didn’t turn the letter in right away. Does he give up the scoop and follow the law, or do his best to become a part of the story? The series is still a compelling mystery, so heck yeah I’d still recommend it, and I don’t see anything in Brian’s brief synopsis of #23 to indicate that that’s the last issue. Buy a collection or two maybe, see what you think! $5
