The Rundown: Tara returns to her people, but the danger to everyone continues to spread.
Tara returns to the Dynasty encampment and immediately finds herself dealing with tension between herself, Troth and his new wife. Things get even worse when she reveals why she left the Last Men Standing. A reason that puts the long fought for peace in jeopardy.
As she finds herself back in the camp, she discovers that things have changed and she begins to feel something is wrong. When another Vangol attack happens outside of their camp, Tara’s discovery of possible Vangol incursion sites will prompt a new plan as a familiar face begins his own journey.
The Story: Wison continues to create a beautifully rich and emotionally engaging world in this series. This issue creates some great interactions with Tara and moves the story forward in some interesting and emotionally intriguing ways. The character interactions are great and I love the romantic tension with Tara and Troth as well as the triangle that it creates with his wife. I really enjoy these characters a lot and look forward to seeing where the story goes next.
The Art: Wildgoose continues to impress with the beautifully detailed and visually compelling art throughout the issue.
