Faith #4 Written by Jody Houser Art by Francis Portela and Marguerite Sauvage Colors by Andrew Dalhouse with Pete Pantazis Letters by Dave Sharpe Published by Valiant Comics This is the final issue of the Faith miniseries, but have no fear!

Even without previous knowledge of Harbinger, the first issue of the Faith miniseries is an absolute delight.

With Ales Kot’s simple plot of ‘catch the bad guy’ with a tinge of sci-fi influenced potential pandemic, alongside the artwork of Adam Gorham and Michael Spicer, and letterer Dave Sharpe, Dead Drop is already a lot of fun. Don’t feel guilty if you need an oxygen tank by the time the last page comes. The only way to describe the adrenaline pumping first issue is to quote the great philosopher Samuel L. Jackson from the film Jurassic Park: “Hold onto your butts.”
