Strangehaven 12
By Millidge; Abiogenesis
The
twelfth issue - and as the clock strikes midnight violence finally disrupts
the polite façade of the village. Or does it? Since the very beginning
Gary Spencer Millidge has mixed the mundane and the inexplicable so adroitly
that it's no longer possible to take anything at face value in his fine mystery
story. (MK)
Things get violent in Strangehaven as the traitor in the Knights' midst is discovered, and hanged. Meanwhile a wife, whose husband has strayed one too many times, retires to the bathtub with a knife. (JL)
The pastoral feel of this title takes
a heavy shot in the arm at last as blood is spilled twice in the same night
in the sleepy village of Strangehaven. Millidge's layouts continues to improve
with each issue, and his writing grows ever more confident. If this title suffers
in any way, it's simply down to its infrequent publication, making it difficult
to enjoy the series as an ongoing saga. (RN)
