This rocked. Definitely my favorite issue of the series yet. The art just felt better this time around, which could possibly be made so with the addition of Renna to the art duties, but I don't know for sure. Furthermore, the story was just stronger than its been in the past, in my opinion. I loved how powerful Jean was portrayed to be here, particularly. The stuff at the beginning and the ending to her fight with Gorr were both just so good. The introduction of Thanos has me even more hopeful, as well, as I'm super interested to see the two of them go against each other. I need more issues like this one, please.
