The best thing about Revival is that it's four issues and it is still nearly impossible to tell where the story is going. Is it a horror story? Kinda. A murder mystery? Kinda. An alien, demon thingy, monster tale? Sorta, yeah. It's got a great mix of elements that will keep you guessing. This issue doesn't give any more answers than the previous three, but that doesn't make it any less captivating. I may have no idea where the hell Revival is going, but I know I want to be there when it finally arrives.
Tim Seeley does a great job of dangling threads in front of you. He gives you just enough questions and not enough answers. You keep turning the page hoping for a big reveal, and we are all kinda secretly happy when it's not there. Don't worry, you'll still get your violent horror fix in this issue. Guts are spilled. The only problem this issue has is there is simply not enough of Dana Cypress. She's more interesting than any of the other characters in the book.
The art by Mike Norton is the same great quality we have come to expect. Lots of detail, especially when it comes to the aforementioned gut spilling. This is character driven though and Norton gives the characters' expressions and emotions lots of heft. It looks great. Mark Englert's color work adds to the books dull, snowy grey look. Revival is a book to keep your eye on. Wherever it's going, it's someplace awesome.
