The experiments continue. The invisibility serum is tested on animals, most do not survive and are quietly disposed of. A one eyed cat manages to not only survive but escapes. People report hearing a squalling cat but never seeing one, of a fish seemingly walking away from the local market. When Dr. Jack Griffin's lab rival acquires an ape for experimentation he invites the cat in... and it kills the ape.
The story continues to progress at a nice pace. Not too fast nor too slow. This issue opens with some time between Jack and Flora Cranley, which is much needed. They want to be together but the demands of society seem determined to keep them apart. Later, when Jack kisses her she is more worried about appearances. Appearances, which is something that keeps coming up in this series. Seen and unseen. How things appear, and how they really are. It is not over the top commentary nor does it bludgeon you over the head either. Again, of the various Universal Monsters mini-series that I've reviewed I find this one to be the most engaging so far.
eight out of ten.
