Isobel Blades, First Lady, pays a visit to Congressman Chris Higgins, a former love interest rumored to be plotting Stephen's impeachment. In the asteroid belt, the purpose of the Chandelier becomes clear, as it powers up for the first time. Earth's solar system will never be the same.
This issue was jammed packed with plenty of action and a nice pay off for the premise introduced in the inaugural issue. The big looming threat is finally realized and like insignificant ants, the players are scrambling to deal with it. I suspect there will not be a pause in the momentum anytime soon, even as new plans are being hatched that will further complicate the situation. Letter 44 hit a sweet spot with this issue and I cannot wait to see what's next! Read Full Review
The biggest issue with Letter 44#9 is that, until the end, it lacks the sens of suspense that past issues have had. There's a lot of talking, and a lot of technical jargon. It's all important, but this issue is largely just the humans reeling from a massive turn in events that happens close to midway through this issue. It pushes the plot forward, so the book isn't slowing down in that sense. But this issue was fairly dialogue heavy, making it seem a little bit dense at times. Read Full Review
