GREG RUCKA proudly presents a new direction in adventure with... COMPASS!
Evil pursues Shahidah El-Amin to the ends of the Earth...and miles beneath it. The quest for the Cauldron of Eternal Life takes Shahi - and her one-time sister-in-arms, now enemy, Ling Hua - deep within the darkest caverns of Christendom, where the treasure hunters face monsters, visions, and the legions of the dead!
The acclaimed OLD GUARD: TALES THROUGH TIME team of writers ROBERT MACKENZIE and DAVE WALKER (LAZARUS SOURCEBOOK) and artist JUSTIN GREENWOOD (LAZARUS: X +66, Stumptown) plunge comics' boldest new heroine to thrilling depths of danger!
Finally, I also, enjoy the final few pages where we get a little bit of a history lesson about the period of time in which this book is set. This month talks about the Mongols. Read Full Review
Shahidah is forced to drink a potion given by the Druids. They then send her on a journey that involves participating in a mystical trial. Meanwhile, Ling faces the wrath of a powerful ruler who sends her somewhere mysterious. After a series of supernatural encounters, Shahidah and Ling are reunited. The two must then decide how to proceed .The Story: MacKenzie and Walker continue to serve intrigue and excitement in this unique adventure. I like how Shahidah and Ling are forced to team up. They have an interesting dynamic that I would like to see more of. The pair have found themselves in precarious situation, and I look forward to find out what happens next in their story.In this edition, traditional artwork is highlighted by a subdued color palette emphasized by variations of blue. The action scenes are interesting and exciting. And the attention to detail is very connective. The illustration in this issue does a good job interpreting the tone of the narrative. Read Full Review
