(Cover A by Sid Kotian and Bill Farmer)
The Plot:
Aided by Ultimate Darkness, Al continues her search for Francis Walther, the guy who currently have the book of keys. Her search brings her to the cyberworld. As Ronnie says it, the cyberspace is a place where the supernatural world and the world of the internet mix. Who knew that the internet could be a gateway to the paranormal world.
The Good:
This 2nd part of the 4 part miniseries is definitely a nice read. Injecting the internet to be a gateway to some paranormal world is a nice move. This is the first time that I had seen this idea be used in a comic book.
The 4 page preview of Dream Police at the end was a nice closing for this issue.
The Bad:
We are still left hanging as to why imps suddenly appeared and chased Al down the road.
The Verdict:
This is an enjoyable 2nd issue from Apocalypse Al. However, I might not recommend it that much. Personally, it just felt to be an average type of story. This issue had fallen short for my enthusiasm for this series.
