Oh how I wish this issue had released sooner. I know the creative team was working on the Punisher for Marvel (a series I still have read), but if this issue had released just after the fifteenth issue it would have been an amazing ending to the story.

Along the way with my reviews for this series I said something to the extent of, “where does the story possibly go from here?” The answer is of course a resounding “don’t know, don’t care, I’ll be there for it”, but I find it to be an interesting exercise in storytelling for Niles to be able to tell this powerful of a story.

The thing I’ve come to love about comic books is that you can read ten comics in one week and they’ll all be completely different from one another, but each great in its own way. For instance take Doctor Mirage which has a sliver of the superhero genre as inspiration, but mostly resides in the supernatural adventure genre.

This might just be my favorite story I’ve read this year which is hard for me to actually say. I’ve read a lot of good titles this year and currently I’m struggling back and forth about what to put at the top of that list. The thing that San Hannibal has going for it, is a rewarding ending to a mystery.

To be completely honest I was sure I was going to review Drifter this month. While I enjoyed the first issue, I didn’t fall in love with it. There wasn’t even a strange sense of continuing with the reviews for the sake of the audience like there is with some titles (my fellow reviewers know what I mean). I even had a hard time motivating myself to read it. But then I did read it.
