Review of the previous issue is here.

I have to be honest, this one was challenging to follow everything that was going on. The creative team's use of uncaptioned scene shifts in the middle of pages did not help matters. This is already a complex tale with a big cast, and I felt like the "Our tale thus far..." bit at the beginning could have done a better job of recapping some of the immediate setup for this issue's action.

That being said, the fact that there is a lot going on in this issue enhanced the epic feel of the story, and left me interested in seeing how the various threads would come together. There were a lot of great individual scenes as well, and a good mix between action and dialogue.

This issue could have used a bit more room to breathe, but there was no lack of advancement of plotlines, and I look forward to reading more.
