ART:
Cafaro
is definitely hitting his stride. (I Know I used that in the All New Fathom
review; sue me) Seriously though, Cafaro’s style is definitely a bit cleaner
this issue with some really strong pencils. There is a good amount of detail
and the coloring team of Curto, Nerolini and Mad5 Factory really do a
spectacular job enhancing Cafaro’s pencils. Details are clearly seen. There is
a good amount of backgrounds that are decently rendered. The style definitely
looks cleaner this issue than previous issues.
Action in this book is done well with some good panel composition. The colors are not overly brightened yet still have a nice, ethereal glow of white to them during the panels in Hereta. There are some good angles to the panel work and the panels tell the story well. A solid job by the art team.

WRITING:
Hernandez
continues to play with the reader as some revelations lead to more questions
and it really makes me want to scream … in a good way. I am very much invested
in this book now and after this issue, even more so. The revelations this issue
were very well done. There were built up well from the beginning of the series.
The staggering revelation at the
top of the issue to the Earth-shattering
revelation in the final panel, Hernandez makes sure this issue holds a lot of
weight and character development. Yes. There is a good bunch of that. And oddly
enough, it isn’t from Trish. Trish essentially takes the back seat for most of
the issue but Hernandez makes it more than okay. We get a chance to see father and daughter
bond but then we are treated to development from the Police Chief and Trish’s
friends. They get some good
spotlight and a little bit of growth as
each of them decide that they want to defend Trish from the Blue that are
hunting her.
Plus, the final revelations at the end of the book were a strong surprise as it just hints at the beginning of Trish’s destiny.

The
dialogue was solid and the pacing of the issue was perfect. Another stellar job
by Hernandez.
OVERALL IMPRESSION:
OVERALL IMPRESSION:
This
was the issue that was the beginning of the end and it delivered. We are
getting a stronger, more realized world in this book with new locals and the
supporting characters getting a good amount of time to shine. Everything seemed to progress well and the
opening and ending of the book will leave you staggered. The art was solid and
better than before.
RATING:
I give Trish Out of Water # 4 … a 9 out of 10. A great job.
