Pigeon makes his way to Noom's seaside village only to find it engulfed in the chaos created by Luna's disappearance. He will come to comprehend the true power of Aquatica, the Lord of Water, as he struggles in vain to suppress the angry seas.
THE SACRIFICERS #8 hits you like a freight train when Pigeon's surprise return sparks outrage, heartbreak, and zealotry. Rick Remender's tale of a lost soul accepting his place in the world is a powerhouse, and Max Fiumara's emotionally impactful art is gorgeous. Read Full Review
The Sacrificers #8 is another emotional gut-punch of a story that sets the blue-feathered protagonist on a dark path that stems from rage and pent-up frustration. With the groundwork laid out for another thrilling story arc, this series continues =its streak of being one of the best fantasy comics out now. Read Full Review

There is something incredibly interesting of putting animals into dramatic worlds that are akin to scenes from Game of Thrones or even Lord of the rings, this is not a particularly happy story but it makes me happy to see how inventive the creators of this story are able to get within the confines of the world they have created.

I actually cheered out loud.
Amazing. Pure and simple. Absolutely, amazing.
Gorgeous art, gripping story. Well defined characterization of Pigeon as someone who was never afforded an identity because they were temporary. The rage of the villagers was expected and executed well. Pigeon's initial giving up, then deciding "no, f this and f you guys" was a thoroughly enjoyable development. Can't wait for the next issue.
The final page nearly bumps this up to a 9.5
Its pretty clear that this second arc of the story is traversing between the journeys of Soluna and Pigeon as one loses Godhood and the other obtains it. Its also very clear that their journeys will see them transform into very different characters than we saw at the beginning of this story.
But what that means in actuality is very clearly not what anyone is going to expect. Pigeon is beginning to act very much like the gods of this world and so soon.
Every single issue manages to be a surprising, interesting or brilliant twist and thats impressive 8 issues in. The wait for the next issue becomes agonizing.
High marks for this one.
I really hope this isn't going to descend into "Pigeon, the Avenger".
