Whilst not a bad issue (I dont think anything which features Tim Sales artwork can ever be less than good), there still feels like theres something lacking about this instalment of the story: it doesnt really add anything to the overall plot which we didnt know already. ![]() ![]() However, theres not a lot to make this single comic stand out as really worthy of a read. Selinas line about Mussolini was a particularly good gag, and its refreshing to see a writer be unafraid to add a liberal dose of silliness into characters which are normally portrayed as so dour and serious.

When he asks her to do some very twisted things, she always pushes back, which helps break up those otherwise tense moments, but it also gives us that chance to view deeper into both characters as well. ![]() That is one of the main things that Winston finds so attractive about Ash, her spirit and willingness not to break under his thumb. I love reading a powerful woman, especially one who isn’t afraid to stand up to a man, and especially one with Winston’s dark desires. Even in it’s most depraved moments I found myself chuckling and that is one of my favorite reasons for returning back to Webster’s books again and again.Īsh Elliott is no delicate flower.
