Plot Simón Pure and Albert Einstein continue listening to Benedict Arnold's explanation about the ax that hurt him, which is the same one with which George Wasinhgton cut down the famous cherry tree in his childhood. Benedict excuses himself and Einstein discovers a secret passage where is the book of the cult that gave Simon his powers and that now he is beginning to lose. But just then they are attacked by the cult using powerful enchantments, Red Coat and Einstein are knocked unconscious, in a chase sequence involving a lot of magic and mysterious artifacts. The narrative rhythm is exciting and the dialogues are a delight where they continue to nourish this universe with real history and fiction in a perfect balance. Art Brya more

For some reason I enjoyed this issue more than the previous two. Maybe it was that apple tree moment.

Another good issue. Love the plays on history, the art, it's fun and I like the dynamic with little Einstein.
