“BETWEEN THE DEVIL AND THE DEEP BLUE SEA” Jack Harper and the crew of the Venture slip into enemy waters to rescue a British spy, code-named “Top Hat.” Only their old adversary, Captain Tono of the Imperial Japanese Navy, spoils the party.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The Good<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • I like the cover.<\/li>\n
  • The colors and sound effects lettering were especially nice this issue.<\/li>\n
  • Nice cliffhanger on the last page.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The Bad:<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    • In the first two issues I nitpicked about Reynolds<\/strong>‘ blurred backgrounds being used too often.  I didn’t feel they were over-used this issue and now I feel bad about picking those nits.<\/li>\n
    • Being in a submarine under attack by depth charges.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      The Ugly:<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n
      • What happens after you tell a Japanese interrogator, “I have no bloody idea what you’re talking about…”<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        I look forward to the next issue of The Mercenary Sea<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n
