Salvager Kain #3

More pieces to the puzzle are revealed in this issue, and Paul is smart enough to start off with a recap for those poor souls who only managed to find this issue.  It always amazes me that more creators don’t throw a synopsis into the start of their series, especially when keeping tabs on what came before is so crucial to understanding what’s happening now.  In this issue we get to see just what “Kain” means, how the bartering society operates, and what happened to all the women who managed to survive.  Intrigue, betrayal, treachery… all by a character that still only has the vaguest idea of what’s going on.  The art is still tremendous (seriously, Paul must chain himself to his drawing table to keep up this rate of productivity), the story is still fascinating, and the pace is just about perfect.  I think the man may be onto something.  $3
