Eddie loses an eye and then kills Lord Menon. Eye for an eye? Can the symbolism get any more heavy-handed? We also learn a lot. Lord Menon is Eddie's father. The monster turns out to be a dead whore from Menon's adulterous past. I'm really not sure where this book can go from here. Is it wrapping up? Or does writer Peter Milligan have more ancient Greek myths to tackle? This book has been sort of like The Sopranos meets Clash of the Titans. It's definitely intriguing, but has never yet been super-compelling or revelatory. It's bloody, bloody stuff. Perhaps its time to lighten itself up a bit. **
