Even though the plot doesnt go very far in this issue, Mythic number four still delivers the goods. The first half, the worm fight, is full of action, and Baranskis story is quite entertaining if nothing else. Baranskis story which explores the idea of what does one believe in if one believes in nothing at all, has both a touch of humor and no small amount of melancholy woven into it actually elevates this book which would have been nothing but one long action scene without it. In short, while issue number four is a nice deviation from the norm, one must hope that Hester gets back to progressing the main story in the following issues.
