Liza's Sphere of Power is opening up rifts between our reality and the dark dimensions that lie beyond. Karuman, the ancient leader of The Shangen, gives Mavin an ultimatum that forces her to lead The Marked in an ill-fated attack on Shadowgate.
Marked #3, finally is pushing the story forward and the foretold times of despair and darkness has started to make an appearance. The time is on the clock for Mavin and the Marked to stop it. Which right now means even more now that we have seen so much from the side of the antagonist. Read Full Review
Liza is an incredible antagonist and the change in her characterization is well written and believable. The series didn't sell me until we saw Liza becoming darker and darker as a character. Read Full Review
The Marked #3 was an intense continuation in this series. I, along with many other fans, I'm sure, have so many questions about what is to come. The revelations in this issue were strong enough to force us to stop on a dime and think about what we were just told. And I just the sense that this was only the beginning of it all.

In summary, The Marked #3 seems to have opened up and bare its dangerous side. The first two issues were good, but this issue seems ready to hijack its readers and take them into the chaotic world of magic. This series would be highly recommended for those who enjoy history, action, and magic. Read Full Review
With Liza emerging as a major villain in this issue, its going to be interesting to see where Hine and Haberlin take the series next. There is excellent potential for depth in Liza as shes clearly got an incentive to act entirely on her own in ways that might not be as predictable as the standard super-villain. Shes still figuring things out as she has now found herself in a position of authority. Given the right narrative tweaking with a continued focus on Liza, The Marked could turn into something really provocative. Read Full Review
