Shape shifter Alex is not quite whole, and sets out to retrieve their missing ‘piece’. Aided by new friend, the librarian Lo, Alex infiltrates wealthy villain Damian’s building, and may well find something much more sinister than they expected…

Issue 4 of Otherkin takes us on a tense, exciting stealth mission, with Alex bravely trying to keep from literally falling apart as they get ever closer to their target. It’s riveting stuff, told with the same visual flair that the series has done so well, so far.

The angular, shadowy and Mignola-esque approach to the art is very well done too. There are more sequences which rely on the reader paying close attention to visual cues and clues, with silence playing a big part as Alex sneaks around Damian’s ‘lair’.

Four issues in Otherkin continues to be a brilliantly compelling series, with a truly intriguing setup and a great approach to its art. The writing really shines too, with excellent characters and a somewhat unpredictable, but nonetheless very involving, plot.

Currently on a bi-monthly publishing schedule, issue 4 is out on the 18th of March. You can get yourself physical copies of Otherkin from DerryComics. You can read Otherkin digitally, as I did, via GlobalComix.
