Comments: Nolan is an Azure Mask and he knows something is going on he just does not know what. Others are paying attention to him.
Edwin Slaughter’s name comes up over and over so what is he up to?
The story tries to build some suspense yet it fails. The few characters shown you are not told enough about them to care about them.
The art on the Totems has a scary appeal. The way they are shown moving is unnerving.
Too many details are left out of what is happening and when the characters are used to you learn so little.
Azure Masks it seems are the gatherers of information.
The art uses too much black fill-in. There is no action to illustrate so all the drawings have people just standing around.
Nolan and Edwin are being used to set something up but what? That is the question. What is Edwin up to and how can Nolan figure it out?
