I agree, it's been outstanding so far. I picked up the #1 on something of a whim (and because i've always liked the tales and aura surrounding the historical Rasputin), and with every issue that comes out my love for it grows and grows. The writing is minimalist, but to good effect, and the set up is very clever and almost poetic, and the art is simply phenomenal. It's become easily one of my favorite new series of the second-half of 2014; if it'd come out a bit earlier in the year, it definitely would've made an appearance or three in my Best Of nominations. I've never seen anything by Riley Rossmo, before, but he's kicking all kinds of ass on this book

I was on the fence with Rasputin after the first two issues, but I thought the 3rd issue was outstanding. With so many exposition-heavy titles it's refreshing to read a book that tells a concise, well-developed story that can be followed solely on artwork alone. The tone and atmosphere surrounding the story really aide my enjoyment in reading this. I've felt engrossed in the story, especially this latest issue.

Well fuck me sideways, anyone see that coming?! 0_0 Great wrap to a great arc, and apparently it's half-way done, now, finishing at only two volumes? I'll be sad to see it go.
