Cerebus #53

Cerebus arrives at the house of the Countess in this issue. He continues to write his memoirs while getting to know the Countess a little better. She's a mostly mysterious character and their conversations tend to be cryptic at times. At the end of the issue the Wolveroach arrives and passes out as the issue comes to an end. Cerebus is of course not amused.

This issue is priming the reader to delve into the religions of the Cirinist and Kevillist. The  Countess is inbetween both religions and Ii imagine Sim is going to explore those religions a bit through her eyes and overall confusion.

This was mostly a slow issue. The Countess tends to weave around the questions that Cerebus asks. Though she did except his help in getting out of paying her taxes. Cerebus' book is pretty funny when you get to see what he writes from time to time.

I have slightly better recollections of where Church and State eventually goes as a story but these early parts are mostly a mystery to me. I'm enjoying the issues a lot at this point.

Until next time!
