The artist again manages to make even the most mundane moments unnerving, his paneling aggressive and eye catching. At times that same inventive eye makes for some confusing segues, but all in all his contribution remains as eerie as ever. Unfortunately, the same can't quite be said of colorist Matt Hollingsworth. The book's unique palette is again divisive, his use of splotches and splatters at times hindering the visual flow. Some panels are tough to discern with so many conflicting blends, and while at times that effect aids in crafting mood, at others it's just frustratingly muddied. If you're liking Wytches already this issue is sure to tickle your fancy, but if you're on the fence, it may not be enough to push you over. Jeff is a writer for IGN.
