Mind the Gap #11 – Review

By: Jim McCann (story), Sami Basri (art), Jessica Kholinne (colors)

The Story: Chaos at the hospital is no time to be playing Marco Polo!

The Review: I don’t read Morning Glories, but every now and then I check out my compatriot Dean Stell’s reviews of that series.  I can’t say I really understand what it’s all about, but then again, neither does much of anyone, apparently.  I don’t know if I could stay loyal to a series that remains vague and obscure some twenty-seven issues into its run.  I’d rather trade-wait it so I can get all the mysteries out of the way in one sitting.

All this is to say that I’m glad I’m reading Mind the Gap instead, where McCann seems to have the right instinct for knowing when to hold back on the information and when not to test our patience.  Last issue unloaded quite a few important revelations that took the title to a whole new level of entertainment; at the same time, we remain well aware that there’s still a great deal left to explore, ensuring the series’ long-term interest.
