Everything about this has been solid for the most part. The writer has gone very deep in the lore, and the storytelling has provided a consistent throughline while changing character perspectives which must have been hard.
There is also something very poignant about the politics of the different sides. Paul Allor is a subversive genius. I dismissed this title originally because of the way it was being marketed, and I made a huge mistake. Paul Allor clearly has a deep reverence for the Joe canon, filling the series with deep cut references to Hama and DDP lore and obscure figure-only characters. I wish I had supported it issue to issue.
The primary artist has been great. It's modern, well rendered and highly detailed in the right ways. I could name a lot of instances which stood out, but the Silent Castle has never looked this good either inside or out.
The one fill in artist was a surprise but he was a good choice for the most somber, violent issue of the series.
When is Castle Fall coming out, and could a letter-writing campaign save this title? It's close to COBRA in terms of world-building and quality. It really is good. I want to do an issue by issue breakdown.
I’ve been preaching this since issue #2/#3. :(
