Score:

★★★★☆ (4/5)

QUICK REVIEW: Sometimes a comic will read like a TV script. It's not necessarily a bad thing as some comic writers also write for television and film. It can come off as a pitch for another medium when done blatantly. I don't believe this is one of those instances but I can't help imagining 'Black's Myth' as a television series. The pacing and framing of each issue could stand as an episode. And it would be just as entertaining as the comic which thrives as an engaging supernatural detective drama.

The finale of this chapter reveals all and comes to a satisfying end. In getting to the bottom of the mystery, Strummer reveals that not everything is resolved with violence but simply with communication. It may be a lost art, and it's easier to triumph over evil with might and brawn than it is with dialogue and honesty. This is what makes this series special, it doesn't use supernatural elements to dictate the action but merely supplements the investigation. 'Black's Myth' may not be a TV show (yet) but it offers an irresistible story that's as bingeable as one.
