This book is by far my favorite purchase of 2011. "Black Wade" is much more than a comic book, it is in essence-- a work of art. The illustrations are so crisp and detailed every image automatically captures your attention and keeps dreading the end, yet longing for what you will discover on the next page. My only hope is that Franze & Andaerle are currently working on the second installment. I am glad I paid the $22.99 to buy the last copy on amazon.com.
