THE BASILISK: It can't be stopped. It can no longer be contained. It thinks it's God. And it wants to murder everyone. With Magnus out of commission, who can step up and defeat the undefeatable? (Spoiler: No one)
As we get near the end of this series, everything feels like it's been built up well to get us to this point, though it could have taken a lot more time to explore different areas of the world instead of just barreling through it. With this installment, the fun is on the focus of Magnus and what he's going through in Maury's Peak now that he's woken up there and is doing his best to get back to NorthAm to finish what 1A started so long ago. Not that NorthAm will be recognizable with what the Basilisk is doing or some of the other little twists, including a possibly cringe inducing finale page as H8R is truly revealed? I have no idea what to make of that, but the book has been better for me without him in it, so I'm not exactly looking forward to that aspect – or the book ending itself next issue. Read Full Review
This retooling of Magnus has been great, shame Dynamite can't get over its practice of launching books to let them face away within a year.
The artwork in Maury's Peak looks great, but North Am sure has seen better days. At this point it's a game of illusions with a final page that I find titillating. Only one issue remains and I'm happy to say that the journey has been a blast, the only crime is that it's ending after only 12 issues and a #0
