I’ve been delighted by Derek Kirk Kim’s The Last Mermaid since the first issue, but issue four felt like it kicked things into gear. The protagonist finally has someone to have conversations with and her motivations are opening up. If the promised 25-30 issues of this series materialize, this has been a great opening arc.
Secrets unfold when a mysterious stranger joins the mermaid. At long last, the mermaid reveals her desperate lifelong mission. And much to her shock, the stranger claims to know the way to fulfilling her dream. But can the cautious mermaid put her trust in this enigmatic wanderer?
