Someone is determined to track Alex down, and librarian Lo may just be the key they need to get their hands on him.

I’m really enjoying the urban fantasy vibe of Otherkin so far, and this third issue brings us at least some of the answers to the questions that we all no doubt have about Alex, and his shape shifting abilities.

Though there’s much more exposition here than in the previous two issues, it feels no less dramatic or exciting, and an air of mystery is still maintained. We may learn more about Alex, but certainly far from everything.

The very artwork-led approach to telling the story may be slightly lessened, given Alex’s extended, expository dialogue sequence, but there’s still lots of fantastic details in Victor Costa’s deceptively minimalist art.

All of that is to say that the overall narrative of Otherkin continues to be hugely compelling in this third issue, and I can’t wait to read issue 4.

Currently on a bi-monthly publishing schedule, issue 3 is out now and issue 4 is due in mid-March. You can get yourself physical copies of Otherkin from DerryComics. You can read Otherkin digitally, as I did, via GlobalComix.
