3,5*

A solid brilliantly crafted mystery perfectly using the Watchmen/Rorschach mythos but not without flaws

Less abstruse than some of King’s works of late it suffers from being overstretched when the plot already goes at a snail’s pace. Whole issues could have easily been condensed in half the number of pages used without anyone noticing.
There are also some in-jokes that totally eluded me- Frank Miller?? Wtf?- and absolutely no character to root for. Actually that’s probably intentional but still.

Good art and impressive storytelling by Jorge Fornes. Considering there’s almost no action it never gets boring.

Would have been a solid 4* with 2 issues less. 5* for 4.
