TWO-FACE #4: The Trial of Harvey Dent

Two-Face #4: Harvey has become trapped inside of his mind and must stand trial for crimes committed… against himself! It’s a battle of good versus evil, and the fate of his soul depends on the outcome.

Creative Team:

Christian Ward (WRITER)

Fabio Veras (ART)

Ivan Plascencia (COLORS)

Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou (LETTERS)

Baldemar Rivas (COVER)

*SPOILERS AHEAD*

The Art:

Fabio opens up the issue with some intensely impressive scaling between characters. Harvey has been a source of strength and might, up until now, is standing, cowering in fear against his father. The way he draws Harvey as a character once larger than life now smaller than life is a shocking departure from the strength shown until now. As the issue rolls on the raw emotion drawn amongst Harvey and his alter ego are full of detail.

When it comes to the colors, Ivan matches intensity as the issue is a colorful array of emotion in which the anger and sadness shine bright and with each pulse of emotion shown explodes an array of brightness. Issue 4 is one of the most impressively colored issues yet and perhaps my favorite.

The Story:

Christian takes down a dark and depressing past, showcasing the motivations and origins behind Harvey’s “dark passenger.” It’s a tragic story and not one that has ever been explored before. It all builds up to a suspenseful twist that within his mind, his mother is the keeper of peace and justice within the prison he has built inside of himself. The story-telling is top notch and gives so much depth to this character and proves he is more than just another rogue.

Hassan brings his own intensity as the letters weave around the characters like musical notes. Each panel lettered fitting the tone and theme and bringing the emotion out fully.

Final Thoughts:

Two-Face #4 is the best issue of this series yet as it explodes with emotion and colors. We dive into Harvey’s backstory revealing motivation behind the anger and emotion buried deep within. I can’t get enough of this run!

Overall Grade: 10/10!
