As Wren and captain Ariel continue on their do-or-die mission for chairman Pei, pursued by his minions, they descend in a forest with all manner of floating and flying creatures.

Sorry but it sounds more ridiculous the more it is said. -- BRASS SUN // FLOATING WORLDS: Going into some interesting new territory now, I expect the excitement will pick up from here. -- AQUILA // CARNIFEX: Reintroducing Aquila's usual bad-ass self. A violent story with tasty art. -- THARG'S 3RILLERS // VOODOO PLANET: A horror ending that stirs up emotions in the reader, which is a good thing. I think the only downside to this is the briefness to introduce all the elements of this world, it feels more like something ripped out half the pa ges from another comic book. -- OVERALL: No bad strips, it's a pretty great time to be reading 2000 AD. more
