the mill panel layouts for a Jeff Lemire Andrea Sorrentino strike gold Again.What else to say G...Jeff Lemire s new horror thriller mystical series starts veeeery slow It s five long and tedious issues of buildup and one final issue that tries to turn everything on its head and kind of fails by being too ambiguous , it doesn t feel very original or exciting enough to sustain its length, and
