And her skills are tested again when a new threat stuns the company. As Tara and Callum ice each other out, things heat up in the snowy north when the war against the Vangol ignites a new spark between newlyweds Troth and Faran!
Wildgooses art builds on that by stripping away the kinetic layouts of the last issue to foreground characters and expression here. Paired with Msassyks melancholy palette that teases a bit of hope, the book takes on an aesthetic of compassion and understanding in the face of overwhelming sorrow. This series continues to be one of the most fascinating fantasy series on shelves, living comfortably in and then exceeding the tropes of the genre. Read Full Review

I cant recommend this comic enough. In such a short time it made me feel fear, empathy, hope, and it made me smile. With so many stories out there these days, we often think we know where things are headed, and its such a breath of fresh air when were wrong. Read Full Review

The Hunger and the Dusk continues to be a great fantasy in an industry severely lacking in it. The Hunger and the Dusk is full of sharp, inventive detail with some of the most endearing characters you'll read in comics. Read Full Review
It isn’t fair how good G. Willow Wilson’s THE HUNGER AND THE DUSK has been. There is so much drama and tension, so many complex characters, and such a rich world building being done it’s practically incompatible that this is a brand new series. Wilson’s story is matched only by the immaculate designs on the page from artist Chris Wildgood and colorist Msassyk. It will be a crime if this doesn’t get turned into a hit TV show. This continues to be one of my top new series of 2023 and if you’re not reading this series, you’re missing out on an epic adventure.
This series continues to be really enjoyable with this issue. Aside from Wildgoose's art being great, I think Wilson is developing these characters really well with this story. I don't really have all that much to say about this, other than that it's really interesting and, if you like fantasy stories, you should definitely be reading this.
