Plot Rook and Dire Wolf go to meet Carapace, the warden of the turtles, who is over a hundred years old and saw two planets die, Earth and now Exodus. Carapace hoped they had recovered Swine, but is disappointed when Rook arrives, because he doesn't trust a warden who wanted to leave the planet. Dire Wolfe reveals that Ursaw murdered the father of his Bloodhound, the warden of the Wild Dogs. Dannica explains that once you connect with your fauna, you can take off your helmet, but Rook is afraid because he feels that those fauna are going to betray him. Dire Wolf, Rook and Carapace connect to the Wildlife Grid, which connects them to all the wildlife wardens, Rook sees how Ursaw is about to arrive with an army...the war of the guardia ns is going to begin. This series is amazing, it is a mix of John Carter From Mars with Jurassic Park, with epic and biblical scales. The narrative of this comic is addictive and leaves you wanting to read more. Art Jason Fabok offers his art so detailed where everything makes sense, recreating new worlds with futuristic technology and making it believable, each page hypnotizes and gives chills, playing with the scales of this entire world with a cinematic vision. Summary Rook and Dire Wolf seek help from Carapace, but Ursaw is about to arrive to claim all of the Wardens' helmets. Exciting delivery full of suspense. more

This is everything I could want out of a new comic book universe. They are building out the world and introducing characters who could carry years if story if not decades. The creative team is on top of their game in every aspect. Jason Fabok is delivering maybe some of his best work in this series. Its clean, detailed, visually distinct, and a joy to look at. When I read a comic and finish it wanting at least 5 action figures from that comic you know you are doing something right. The story is developing at a steady but deliberate pace knowing when to imply and when to show. Its not reinventing the wheel of plot but it doesn't have to. 10/10 for this one. Keep it coming.

It might be too early to tell, but can this be read and enjoyed on its own without having to also pick up the other books in this shared universe? The others don't really look all that appealing to me, but this one has piqued my interest.

From what I can gather this book is not in the same universe as the other current ones. If im incorrect on that, I can tell you for a certainly that there's no clear connection to the other books and it can be read entirely solo. Go for it!

Ah lovely! Thanks much!

The world-building in this series is amazing. The stakes keeping getting higher and the relationship between the characters is good. The wire tree was an awesome design and the end is a great cliffhanger. Looking forward to next issue. My Comic Review Channel - https://youtu.be/1ThrrbpWBwY

Awesome comic. I think it would be cool to base a miniature game off this comic.

Another excellent issue in one of the most promising series of this fragile era. It's looking more like as older comics are out (and that's by their own doing, not because we actually wanted to leave them), newer stuff like Ghost machine and Skybound seem to be on the rise. Johns and Fabok do so well on this series. The writing and art are both so great it keeps both in an even balance we seldom see in comics anymore. I truly hope they stick with this for a long time to come. This issue introduced us to a lot more of the Wardens of Exodus. If this series continues to prosper into the longtime classic we all seem to hope it will I'd say this will make quite a future key issue. I'm looking forward to seeing what other kinds of wardens ther e are as welll as the impending showdown against Ursaw, who is one of the best new villains I've seen in a very long time. This issue was a little slow but I was still greatly satisfied. When it came to Johns' work it was a tossup in his DC days (I loved his Flash and Green Lantern, but never liked his Superman much), but I never doubted that he cared about giving fans a good story. And he never seemed to really let success go to his head so bad he'd forget that. His Ghost Machine work alone has proven that. It seems today writers seem to care most about making a name for themselves and making every issue they write a key issue. 3 issues in and we already have something worthy of the praise it gets and definitely one of the best new comics out there. And still only $3.99. Not only do you pay less than those money vacuums at Marvel and DC charge for the 8th rate trash they put out you actually get your money's worth with it. Looking forward to #4 with great anticipation. more

I like this series more and more with its post-apocalyptic world, in which new significant characters periodically appear.

This has all the promise of a great story but some of the dialogue was unnecessary and way to many characters in one issue. The art was awesome but the lettering was a mess. I think the real reason I'm struggling with this comic more this issue is I actually don't like Rook as a person and that is probably why I will ultimately fall away as the issues go on.
