Part 3 of 6: MYSTIQUE #16

Mystique is now halfway through "Unnatural", and sticking to the proven formula.

Lots of running around corridors in this one, and a bit of shouting between Mystique and Shortpack about her priorities.  Plus, some more fighting.  It's not easy to review in isolation, since it's just the middle act of a story that's already established its course by now.  We know the formula by this point, we know it works, and the issue's as good as ever.  There's just not a lot to say about the middle chapter of the storyline.

Oh, hold on.  We've got a new inker, Jay Leisten.  That's worth mentioning.  Let's see, has the new inker marked a major departure from the formula?

...

Well, the lines are a bit heavier, I guess.  And it's a little bit looser.  Otherwise, not much difference, though.

Perfectly solid action issue, as per usual.  What more can you say?

Rating: B+
