Continuing with the three issue plot started last month, this installment of Freddie and his pals sees the latest bunch of future victims make a play to not only escape from the clutches of deadly (literally) nightmares but also try and do away with Ol’ Freddie once and for all. Having decided to summon the Aztec sleep demon Nanuaquez (last ish.) the four friends get about putting their plan into action.

Not only do they make the appropriate arrangements at home, each telling their parent (in whichever suits them), Blaine, the one who put for the idea in the first place also makes arrangements for one major ‘contribution’ towards the summoning, that being the human sacrifice. As for the demon himself, not only does he come he even get to the business at hand – fighting Freddy. However, with one more issue to go in this fast paced action-n’-mystery filled story, there is a lot that could happen and most definitely will.

What makes this story all the more eerie is the artwork and the fresh and innocence the creative team of Kevin West, Bob Almond and WSFX bring to the characters (even Blaine). So much so that when they do what they do to one of their own, the effect is all the more pronounced. As for the sleep demon himself, I can’t help but think of the characters from Guy Ritchie starring movie ‘Time Machine’.

Conclusion: As much as I still miss Chuck Dixon on Nightwing I am more than enjoying him on this series and hope that he stays on for a long time. Same goes for the art-creative team, although given the track-record of ANoES there will a new one with the next arc.

RATING: 8/10
