Bounty: 08/23/08
After having so enjoyed "Litany", the cover story for the June 2008 issue, I'm stuck on how to review "Bounty" from the August issue. I've read through the four page story three time and it still fails to leave much of an impression with me. "Bounty" follows four hunters as they brutally track down a "perv." They finally catch one of the two they had been chasing. The big reveal of who had hired them to hunt the perv down reads like its meant to be a shocking ending. For me, the reaction was more of a mixture between "huh" and "so what." On further reflection and a couple more readings, I settled on "but Brimstone did it better." |
