Obvious answer was the real answer and it was dealt with thoroughly.
Really thoroughly.
In a way I know I was not expecting thoroughly.
RiD finally is getting to MtMtE levels of what the frak?
I genuinely have no idea what is going to happen next, even though I know full well what is going to happen in the immediate future (as it was shown full force in the final page, and pretty obvious even from the second last panel) with what happened in this issue who knows what is going to happen.
Barber has cleaned the slate ready for the second major arc of RiD, and lets hope he stays around for a long while, not just because his writing has been excellent, planned and consistent with the IDW universe, but if he goes, I am sure the next writer will find a dull, cheap way to reset and undo all the motions put into play and resurrect the fallen characters.
I cannot compare this to the same day release of MtMtE as Phantomzone didn't have it stocked this week, but I would find it hard to believe that it could be as genuinely surprising in terms of actions to characters as RiD!
Should also add that the art this issue is done by Guido Guidi and it is sublime. The Matere cover is all flavours of awesomesauce, but as a retail incentive I had no chance of nabbing it, will have to pick up later in the aftermarket. The interiors are gorgeous and the designs of mostly background players are now in FoC styled bodies. I thought they would be a bit jarring, but they suit this series well.
