The Rundown: Caspar and friends travel to a fantasy land in pursuit of Amon before he unleashes a powerful evil.
After burying another friend, Caspar and the remaining members of the Order find themselves facing an emerging island off the coast. An island Caspar is familiar with because it is where he grew up. After being welcomed by the fairies on the island, they are taken to the king and queen and told of what Amon and his group are doing in their lands.
At the same time, Amon makes a decision about the demon they are guarding. A decision that will give Canto pause. When Caspar discovers what Amon has done, he races to the scene to confront them and in the ensuing battle, something dark emerges. Something that could mean the end of everything, including Caspar.
The Story: Taylor takes this story is come bold and unexpected directions. The story is filled with action, tension and surprises. Caspar has definitely evolved as a character and his journey keeps me invested in the story. Everything has a great buildup and payoff both in the character stories and action. The story leads to some awesome moments with a shocking and brilliantly done cliffhanger that I was not expecting.
The Art: Di Nicuolo delivers explosive visuals throughout the issue. The art style is brilliant and captures the energy of the story and its world.
