Plus, a new "Hero's Journey" variant by BENJAMIN DEWEY (THE AUTUMNLANDS)!
MAJOR PLOT POINT:
Major new character introduced. Secret identity revealed of existing character.
Outstanding issue. The fact that we are back into the main story and we got to check in with all of the parties involved, was an amazing and seamless juggling act.

It's taken a while, but the many freewheeling threads that make up Birthright have begun to feel cohesive. Joshua Williamson has done a great job crafting a solid sense of direction over the last few issues, focusing less on the then and more on the here and now. Read Full Review
In the final pages of the book, however, the energy returns. Not only do the brothers come across their next target, but readers are presented with a reveal that is really fantastic. Not only does it have excellent narrative weight and some serious shock value, but it is also the best visual moment of the issue. Bressans design of the final page, along with brilliant colors from Lucas really help pull the issue up in its final moments and reinvigorate the excitement of the series as it leads into the next issue. It is that ending tease that gives indication that what lies ahead will surely impress. Read Full Review
Interesting development, still awesome.
