The issue has some emotion but it’s mostly political maneuvers. ![]() With color by David Curiel and lettering by Joe Sabino there’s a beautiful stiffness to it all.

It was a comic full of politics and not a whole lot of action. ![]() ![]() The first issue of Inferno was a lot of setup and maneuvering by its characters.
