Mariko tries to get to the root of the conflict between Yamato and Bake-Yoroi. Read Full Review
If you love Momoko's work or are interested in Japanese folklore, that's likely enough to make the issue worthwhile, but the storytelling leaves something to be desired. Read Full Review
Demon Wars: Down In Flames #1 is the first issue in the Demon Wars Saga that the story doesn't completely hit. The artwork is still at the high level you expect from Peach Momoko. But the way Down In Flames handles the developments in the Shield Of Justice chapter does not as well as past issues. Hopefully the new character reveal leads to much better developments in the next chapter of the Demon Wars Saga. Read Full Review
This feels like a distinct uptick in the series. The visuals remain delightful, the plot progresses in a clear fashion, and Mariko is a compellingly active protagonist this time around. It makes a fun read, and the process of digging into all the mythological and Marvel connections is fun too.
The artwork continues to pull me through.
Story is starting to feel a bit all over the place.
I really like the art, but I really wish I could follow the story better.
