  "Sword of Sorcery" #4 has a side-step for its main feature and a new feature in the back, the pair of which could prove in other hands to be a jumping-off point. Here, though, I think that Marx, Andreyko, Moore and Bressan have kept the book on course. I'm glad the main feature is returning to more familiar territory next month, but all in all it's a pleasant issue. While new readers might not get a good feel for the world of Nilaa that "Amethyst" is set in, I think they will get a handle on its lead character of Amaya. For that alone, I'd say it's a success.

  But the main attraction is Amethyst and unfortunately this issue screamed "fill-in issue" like a neon sign. The art was not as good as usual and the story was a complete stand-alone that doesn't help to embellish the already-fairly-rich storyline. It does further a connection to Justice League Dark and John Constantine, though. I suppose it really felt like a ".5″ issue that publishers put out every so often. It's not essential reading, but it adds a bit to the mythology, so it's like a nice bonus feature. Read Full Review
