This went a totally different direction then I thought it would. But it's a good thing. It told a good story, even if it's not original. I'm really rooting for the main character.

After a bit of a break, this issue didn't do any services of getting me hooked back into the world. It was never the most exciting book, but I thought things were picking up before the break. Besides the last page, this book was a little boring. The art is what is propelling my grade.

The art really hindered my enjoyment of this one. I thought last issue was great, and the art enhanced that issue. In this one, it took away from the story.
