  Anyway, this is still a good-looking book, but the main story is beginning to drag. The building interest in the back-up is a good thing, but it threatens to overshadow our main focus. Skaar himself needs some attention. He's still a bit of a void as a character, and there's really not much in the prophecies surrounding him that make him any more interesting. If Pak can draw something more distinctive and exciting out of this character, then this book could become something special. At the moment, it's lingering a bit too much around average for my tastes. Read Full Review

Unfortunately, Garney seems intent on sticking with his scratchy, un-inked style, much to the detriment of the book. The pencils are seriously lacking in definition, and I'd seriously urge the creative team to consider bringing in an inker. Skaar needs something to keep me interested, and I'm not finding much to like at the moment. Read Full Review
