Tensions come to a head between the Harvesters and the Worshippers at Malik's Flight as Marlyn Chen's true plan is revealed.
Meanwhile, Jason will find himself embroiled in a conspiracy and heist that makes Captain Malik's original quest pale in comparison.
As engaging as it may be to consider timelines and new connections or how this story mirrors elements of storytelling-as-industry, it also seems to only invoke the intellectual and never the heart. Read Full Review
I always want to love this book more than I find myself actually loving this book. The core idea, basically mining a God for resources until you find one of your own who escaped has become a God, is so damn good. The characters outside of Malik and Marlyn Chen have been a little flat and Di Meo's art, while spectacular at times, makes it difficult to gain a sense of perspective from panel to panel with all the (for lack of a better word) lens flares. The ending has me pretty excited though.
This issue felt like kind of a mess. Maybe I wasn't in the best headspace while reading it, and still read it anyway, in an effort to catch up on all the comics I've yet to read. But this really was not a good time.
Frankly, it's impossible to understand what's going on. The artwork is catchy but storytelling is awful!
