Holocaust has taken over Paris Island, setting ablaze anyone that tries to cross him and his plans for the city and beyond. 
What has led Holocaust to achieve such a goal? What are his plans for the city? And who will oppose him to stop him in his tracks before he incinerates everyone within his line of sight?
Geoffrey Thorne sets the stage for all kinds of chaos, and even with the chaos that ensues due to Holocaust and his army wreaking havoc, there is a streamlined, thorough, strategic plan that actually works well not just for the antagonist, but also the story itself. Thorne details the journey of Holocaust, how he came to be, how he came to power, and how he planned for the present to not only take control of Paris Island, but also, planned for anyone that poses as a legitimate threat. Ideally there are certain characters that show up in the book, that could easily take down the antagonist, but how Holocaust prepared for nearly every potential competition is cleverly written and action-packed with some thoughtful commentary about identity to boot.
Sean Damian Hill illustrates this issue with Juan Castro in charge of the inks, which combined together make a stylistically suitable book that reflects modern times and fashion. Wil Quintana’s cinematic coloring and Andsworld Designs’ well-placed dialogue bubbles compliment Hill’s art, giving the book the kind of cinematic energy that Thorne’s writing aimed for. This is a solid issue that gives insight on Holocaust not just as an antagonist, but as a person and how his experiences informed who he is. It’s worth adding this comic to your pull list for new comic book day.
