Rumble #15 Review

Oh man. OH MAN. The shit got real in mid-air, right before it hit the fan. All the various hints and pieces of lore have been barreling down the tracks aiming at this issue, and are ready to SMASH into a reader’s brain at 90mph.

Is It Good?

This is a pure action issue setting up a final five pages of heartwrenching plot twists and preparing the reader for the next arc in a way that makes waiting until next month NEARLY GOD-DAMN IMPOSSIBLE.

Now, a Rumble review wouldnt be complete without some Del Slaughter, so I figured I’d bring him along as well:

If you’ve not started this, grab the collected editions and catch up now, because I can honestly say that the next 10 issues should be even more insane. GRAB IT.
