NEW STORY ARC
The long-dreaded war between the Federation and Arcanics is about to explode as secret peace negotiations are threatened and the Old Gods conspire. Now, Maika must choose her next steps: will she help her friends, or strike out on her own?
We have such complex characters, with different motivations and goals, that are all so well rounded. A complex and well thought out world. I can’t heap enough praise onto this series. And while this is only the first issue in this next 6 issue arc and spends a lot of time setting up what our various characters are up to it’s absolutely captivating from beginning to end, and the 30 pages are over before you know it. Epic in a way no other comic comes close to, fantastic art and storytelling, you need to be reading this series. Read Full Review

With so many now in the cast, it is about time there were a few pages dedicated to a 'who is who'.
This issue is mostly recap, and catching up with characters after issue #24, but I'm excited to see what's gonna happen in Aurum! Also the cliff hanger with Maika should be interesting in the following issue.
