It's important that Xiaoyi's story is told because it is an all-too-real example of human trafficking. Like Xiaoyi, most trafficking victims internationally are women, people of color, and at a disadvantage because they don't know the predominant language. Xiaoyi illustrates the unequal power dynamic when she asks Reader, who is speaking English, "What are you saying to them?" It's a well-written story but, due to the tonal shifts and dark subject matter, a jarring experience.

I'm disappointed that we don't know who the new Thor is, but this is still a fun issue.
