I
will say though that the finale did seem quite
rushed with Hutchinson seeming insistent on
closing it within twenty eight pages; Just the
same, there’s never enough build-up to the
bigger twists that occur, and Hutchinson almost
gives away the whole hand on the first page.
Nevertheless, “Night Dance” is an admirably
simplistic narrative when all is said and done,
and that's not a bad thing. It’s really just
Myers’ book with his confronting a figure from
the past that he’s relentlessly obsessed with,
his strategic destruction of every element of
her life, and his endless mission to keep his
family together. Why he wants to ruin her life
is left with great ambiguity, even after the
final startling panel reveals much about his
motives and the simplicity of Michael’s mind
that will ensure many years of innocent
individuals being torn to shreds by this
consistently cunning monster. I wanted some
justice after Zombie, and damn it, Devil's Due
gave it to me with great writing by Hutchinson
and excellent art by Seeley. Read it!
