Delilah Dirk and the Pillars of Hercules by Tony CliffMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
A nice addition to the series. I don't think Pillars of Hercules was quite as action packed as the previous volumes, but it is still quite good. Something that we haven't seen before is someone playing on Delilah's ego. That part of the story worked because of the character that was doing it and the fact that it hasn't been shown before. Sure, there have been characters that take notice of her abilities, but no one praises her and tries to manipulate her the way that is done here.
The art is just as good as the previous books. The new characters and locales add some nice variety as well. The parts of the story that are filled with action are done well to denote what is happening. The story grew a little stagnant around the middle. I think Cliff turns that around rather well and ends it on a high note. I love reading about these characters and want to see more of Delilah Dirk's world and adventures. This story expanded on what we had before and left me wanting more.
