mercedes 's review for:

Lazarus, Vol. 4: Poison by Greg Rucka
2.0
dark medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Diverse cast of characters: Yes

I really did not like this volume, oof. It starts out with issue #16, which is basically unreadable. It has the worst comic format I've ever seen in my life, I like comics for their traditional format and not for a double page spread of a small diary on a table that I have to zoom in on to even have a slight chance of making out the words on the page. I really do not like when comics use cursive for diary entries, but is one of the worst examples I've seen. Moving on...

I just found the issues in this volume to be really lacklustre. I don't think Red and Michael's stories work when they're separate, without family, and the plot points also just really bored me. I don't care about tactical war stuff at all, and a lot of this volume was just reading about soldiers discussing what their next move is and yeah... it's not for me.
