The fourth issue of “The Unknown: The Devil Made Flesh” marked the end of the second mini-series of “The Unknown”. Although the issue is entertaining, it fails to match the earlier issues of the series. The revelation that Scott Tilton had been the murderer of the single soul solved the mystery of the killer in Colorado in the issue which also sees Catherine, the world renowned detective being trapped in the caves. The issue explains the reason for Tilton’s fixation with the caves and how he slewed his companions.

The issue also has a great connection with the first issue of the series and reveals the larger obsession of Catherine. The struggle that follows sees the murderous duo take on Catherine and it has been portrayed wonderfully through the art of Oostervee. He also has a commendable job in portraying the caves as well and gives the readers a claustrophobic feel. Oostervee has also shown the conflict in a beautiful manner and his art seems to jump out of the page. The former assistant of Catherine being in a child’s body gives Oostervee to showcase his class.

The conclusion reminds reader of the first issue and seems rather inconclusive. It leaves the readers with many unanswered questions and stresses too much Catherine’s obsession. He also explains why Catherine has managed to live past the time that she was supposed to. Although, the issue was able to create much expectation among the readers, it had a very weak conclusion because of the writer’s desire to finish the ongoing series and start a new one.

Unlike the previous edition, Dead of Night series doesn’t show Devil Slayer in the ugly costumes and marvel weapons this time. The makers have tried to give a new feel to the character by omitting his trademark sword, taking out the hideous blue costume and funny headgear from the visuals and pulling out the cape as well from the picture. Devil-Slayer #1 is about the current position of Iraq with a supernatural flavor to it. The story has fewer captions to support and it is basically unfurl with interesting dialogues and visuals. Though, the characters are the same antiquated war story typecasts. The marvelous artwork could make the story work. Fine use of lights and shadows and emphasis on detailing has added an artistic touch to this horror comic.
