HUNDRED WORD HIT #112 - NOCTERRA #3
Nocterra #3 by Scott Snyder & Tony Daniel
The chase is on! Val and Em try all the manoeuvres they know to shake off the relentless Blacktop Bill who will stop at nothing to capture Augustus McCray. When Bill uses a power draining harpoon on Val’s rig, McCray decides it’s time for a noble sacrifice so his granddaughter can escape.
We find out that McCray and Bill have past history, and the issue ends with Val about to be threatened by someone very close to home.
Snyder and McDaniel keep the pages turning at breakneck speed expertly balancing the action with quieter backstory moments. This is a winner!
