After a
disappointing opening installment, Vermin concludes in equally
lacklustre fashion.
The early
frames of a fleeing Angel carrying Ashley away from the kidnappers sets the
tone for a story that features a lot of running around and very little else.
So we get
Angel escaping from the kidnappers, Angel escaping from the infested rats of
the title, the kidnappers trying to escape from the rats and so on, before
Angel spends about a page beating up the source of the vermin's power.
Dark
Horse's blurb also claims that we discover that this isn't the first time
Angel has had to deal with vermin, but this barely features in the plot at
all - just a couple of frames of Angel in New York in the 1960s. We
knew about this already, but at least Golden and Sniegoski could have made
it vaguely interesting. Christian Zanier's artwork isn't much better
either.
After the
disappointment of #12, it would unlikely that Vermin would prove to
be anything above an average story, but it doesn't even get that far.
As a one-part story, this might just have worked, but as a two-parter it
certainly doesn't.
