Yes, Mark Sable was detained by HLS Unthinkable is one mind trip of a series, the kind I’ve come to expect from Boom! Studios. For those tuning into the late night conspiracy radio programs, or trolling around the conspiracy boards, the doomsday scenarios spelled out in this series don’t come as a surprise.  What does make this issue different is how Mark Sable is able to make all of them fit together into the ultimate end of days book.

There have been many unthinkable acts carried out by agencies and forces bent on instilling fear in their enemies.  But what if the enemy we think we know, is really the friend we thought we knew?  And what if those friends took our ideas and did something unthinkable with them?  That’s the premise behind the latest thriller from Boom! Studios, and darn it, if it doesn’t strike a little close to home.

Though not surprising in the slightest, I was pleasantly happy to see Two-Face Year One in this week’s pull lists. I was however surprised that it was only a two parter, but then I found that it was 48 pages long, and … needless to say, as a big Harvey Dent fan, I’ll be looking forward to buying this in TPB. But for the moment, we’ve got 48 pages worth of Harvey Dent to review, and I was once again pleasantly surprised with how this turned out.
