The latest issue of Silver Coin (#4) was a rare miss by Jeff Lemire for me. The futuristic setting just came out of no where for the book and it wasn't established well within the story itself. Worse than that, its ending didn't seem to fit the idea of the book at all, previously the titular silver coin gave the character some kind of wish fulfillment only to reveal a horrific price latter on...but nothing like that happened here. What the coin did for the girl was unclear and it didn't seem to doom her either...and there's no follow up in the next issue either as it goes in an entirely different direcion. I wanted to like that book, but the first three issues did little for me so I gave up. |

I want to like it too, the concept is really awesome and I liked the first two issues but it's been a slog the last two. |
