I read the third issue of this series almost two years ago (review here), and only just managed to dig this issue out of the Random Stack of Unread Comics. Not sure if I have any more around.
The story in this issue mainly focuses on the human messenger Quinn and his soranae (a mysterious species of reptilian humanoids) companion Nemesio. They have encountered the remains of a series of battles fought on the edge of the forest home of the ra'th (a mammalian humanoid species with tails). There are human and ra'th casualties at several sights, but an investigation deeper into the woods finally turns up a ra'th survivor.
When the survivor panics and tries to run, even more destruction is revealed.
This issue did a nice job of focusing (aside from one scene) on the relationship between Quinn and Nemesio as they investigate the deepening mystery only to uncover further signs of carnage and destruction. There is a bit of background given that provides some necessary worldbuilding without detracting from the progress of the story.
Overall, this had excellent pacing, good character design, and provided some needed setup for the continuing story.
Rating: 7.5/10
