Review:
The Sacrificers #4 is a masterclass in storytelling and world-building. The slower pace gives a more intimate look into the dark intricacies within the comic's world. This issue delves into the twisted desires that fuel the grisly sacrifice ceremony, making the gods' happiness and cheer all the more unsettling.
As much as I wanted to see what happens next with Pigeon and the other Sacrificers, this latest issue adds so many intriguing layers to the story that I can’t be mad at the drastic shift in perspective: The gods, giving a first-hand look into their true nature and the cracks forming within their society. Soluna finally gets time to shine, and her act of rebellion at the end of the issue sets her journey on the course to intertwine with Pigeon's.
The art team of Max Fiumara and Dave McCaig once again deserves a special mention for their stunning and evocative work:
I can’t wait to see what fascinating discoveries there are to make about the story and its world as the comic gears up for its first story arc finale.
Why You Should Read The Sacrificers:
- The Sacrificers has some of the best world-building you can find in comics today.
- Max Fiumara’s art is jaw-dropping across every panel.
- The methodical storytelling keeps you hooked on every facet of the story.
