Edenfrost #4 - Out 27th March Mad Cave Studios W: Amit Tishler A: Bruno Frenda L: Taylor Esposito Synopsis... As the Russian Civil War spreads across two continents, the siblings, Yuli and Alex, find themselves in an explosive run-in with the soldiers who killed their parents. In a moment of desperation, Yuli makes a blood pact with the Golem and unleashes a violent assault against the attackers. While struggling to survive the bloody conflict, Alex desperately tries to save his sister from her uncontrollable rage before it consumes her whole. Thoughts... This issue brings the first arc to a close in spectacular fashion. With the shocking events during the course of the last issue leading up to the explosive ending we know we are in for a great issue here. Picking up right in the thick of it all this issue shows a very different side to the Golems power set/mythology. Without going into too many spoilers we get to see Yuli fully unleash her pent up emotions and some really great emotional moments as the story continues. This is the issue I have been both waiting for and dreading at the same time. I have really enjoyed reading the adventures of these two siblings and the struggles they have had to overcome. Their journey mixed in with the story of the Golem was just spot on. The tale of the two trying to survive would have been a great read on its own but adding that extra supernatural element really elevated the story. Fans of the series will really enjoy the first half of the issue, there is a lot of action and tension and some really gratifying moments, when the dust (or snow) settles no one will be the same again. The other half of the issue is much more somber and emotional, this reminds us of the more personal part of the story and the relationship between the two. The dread I mentioned was that this is the end of the first arc, what will we do next month without our Edenfrost? The art as ever was really great, seeing that wolf on the cover in full form within the issue was a visual treat. The art has been really great throughout the series and has really helped to enhance the story in both its quieter, emotional moments and the bigger action scenes and reveals. I have really enjoyed this series from issue 1, I was not expecting it to hit as hard as it did and have found that my enjoyment grew with each issue. It really got its hooks into me and didn't let go. This issue did a really great job of bringing the arc to a close, and gave it a really satisfying ending. This is a 9 out 10 for me without a doubt, I really hope that there is a 2nd arc to follow soon. more
