Live Through This ~ Part Four

I have been without a working modem for more than the last week and I have a cold as of late so do forgive the lateness of this post.

Angel & Faith issue #4

This issue was satisfying to read and does not disappoint. I can't write anymore without being way to vague or spoiling it ..or it's the headache I have so give me a break!

Cover One. Blue and gold is the colour theme! Beady blue eyes of an array of peacock feathers hang from above. The same beady blue eyes decorate a gold bangle around an extremely pale arm. Human skeletons fill the empty spaces in the background, foreground and in between. It's a mix of supremacy, posh royalty and human death. The evolution of the so called "higher beings". The same beady blue eyes appear again in the illustration, as two pairs belonging to two sombre looking figures. The man holding up a skeleton by the rib cage and woman rubbing her chin with the backs of her fingers, both unamused  looking down upon none other than... us, the reader and members of the regular human race. Nash and Pearl rendered life-like by Morris in an impressive golden glow complexion in the same colour as their hair, standing still as statues and appearing gaunt as the dead, look ever so creep-ey.

Cover Two. Like in a dream of an endless grave yard, tomb stones appear before us and into the rising distance ..or falling from the purple night? not sure. It's in a style similar to a Simpsons dream, ones you may have seen of Bart or Homer. Front and center of the million tomb stones is our beloved Watchers', engraved "RUPERT GILES - IN LOVING MEMORY". Like in a dream, Angel becomes part of the forming grave yard, his black trench coat is the pitch black night for the foreground tombs. Giles' tomb situated at his chest. Angel, all dark and brooding, red blood sprayed across his face, holds out before him, cupped in both palms a single glass flask of lime green Mohra blood. This is another neat composition by Isaacs.

Unfortunately, there was no most memorable page in this issue. But, there were still good use of colour and action scenes. The story had mild shocks/horror, and a nice mysterious glint at the end that leaves your imagination curious for more.    

Hey this was a short post. But that's good cos I need my rest. I hope you enjoyed Part Four, and in a less than a week the next last part of Freefall comes out.
