The Story: I continue to admire and be impressed by this series and the talent of the writers brought on board to bring it to life. Ram V delivers a fantastic story in this issue. The plot has some great moments along with a great message. I love the way the stories intercut and intersect. The story does a great job of fitting into the overall narrative of the series.
The Art: Walsh delivers some fantastic art. The panels and pages are visually compelling and definitely draw the eye.
