The artistry this time was so subtle, and I appreciate it. In past issues, you can see the colors being highlighted, and the playfulness pushing out even in moments of seriousness. This time I appreciated that I can enjoy the colors but also feel the somberness and tension as if I was in a movie. In digital mediums, we often see characters and colors fading, but here we see the colors hug each other. It's hard to look at the art and not feel like you're encompassed in the same room. Hard to not notice the same shifts in emotion and time period. I hope to see this subtlety rise and fall in future issues and take this comic to new heights. Read Full Review

The "Trial of the Exiles" turns out to be a transparent excuse to recap origins, expand the roster, and restart the adventure. The roster additions are welcome, the recaps are redundant, and the ease with which the Exiles escape is anticlimactic. This issue seems to have fallen into a bad crack: too much of a re-introduction for regular readers, but not compelling enough for new readers. Another turn on the artist carousel doesn't do this issue any favors, either. It's funny/tragic that no two artists can agree on how to draw Wolvie.
