The abduction of Rigby has taken a heavy toll on Elodie and her allies as they make their way across the continent toward the western stronghold of Qeb, the night sand warlock. In the north, the wind wizards' villainous plan for Solothus intensifies.
Overall, By The Horns #5 is once again evidence as to why Naso, Muhr and Tabacaru are a team to keep on your radar. Scout have an excellent series here, and I hope that we get to see a lot more of Elodie and Sajen in the future (note that this isn't the end of the series, just my personal wish that the ongoing continues for a long time).

BY THE HORNS #5 is a gorgeous-looking book that up until now has captured a heartfelt, nuanced adventure story with unicorns, wizards, and monsters. Unfortunately, the central conflict of the series is nearly undone with a shortcut of a cliffhanger that almost invalidates the heros journey. This is still one of the easiest Scout books to recommend, so the score will reflect high marks for the outstanding technical execution, even if we strongly disagree with the story choice in the cliffhanger.

Still, the worldbuilding in this comic and its take on fantasy tropes are both great, and By The Horns continues to be a fun read every month. Read Full Review
