Comments: A man in a mask holds another man prisoner. He has been torturing him and plans to be more.
A tortured man finds himself in a hospital now and with a Doctor Shaw.
Now there is something going on with 731? We see a man with a secret and then we skip to a hospital.
The story skips around a lot without fully explaining things.
The comic is about a mystery man who tortures others. He thinks what he is doing is right. What are his reasons though? Why does he torture and then kill people?
We do see a focus on doctors. Are all the killers victims doctors?
There is so many mysteries in this book. We do need some answers to appreciate what is going on.
The art is dark which is used along with the settings to set the atmosphere of the book. You will get a feel as if this is a horror movie.
The torturer/killer looks as if he could be a menacing character only that does not come across very much here. The victims are shown to be afraid and their behavior suggests 731 has some serious importance. Your curiousity will be peaked.

Comments: Things are going on and people have been tortured only nothing is explained. It is so hard to follow what is going on here. If you have not read the previous issues you will have no idea at all what and why things are happening and even if you have you will have very little.
Dr. Blessinger was a scientist who pushed things to the extreme and had no morals about killing people in his experiments.
The art looks ok but other than the people being tortured it jut shows people standing around. The blood on the tortured victims does stand out nicely.
The series needs to be more focused, it needs to be more easy to read and follow what is going on. The Killer is not even shown here. Plus it is mentioned about him having a plan for involving the doctors.
The series just does not seem to go anywhere. Yes the serial killer is cool to begin with but what next?

Comments: The blood, the swastika, the dark setting all give an ominous atmosphere to the start of this comic.
The Sheriff, the doctor, Monica and some other girl are in an intense situation.
Monica seems calm as the Sheriff takes her away. The doctor now he seems upset and he believes the killer is killing because of him. It is so hard to follow what is going on here. He is having dreams of torture. Again why though? Having some mystery is good yet you also need some clues to what is going on.
Monica does make for a good fall woman. The killer only appears once in this issue yet his presence does elicit some fear not a lot though.
The art is atmosphere settig in a sad moody way that should be more suspenseful. This is like a low budget horror movie.
The Sheriff is a common sense man who does want to do his job the best he can. He just has little in the way of extras. He is on his own. He comes across as the star of this issue.
