i can honestly say this is one of my favorite comics series that i've EVER read ! ! ! . . . . . . everything about it is good. the art, the characters, the action, and the feeling of being immersed in this world. . . . . . . . some of the perils that were let off from the last issue are now being dealt with while new ones arise. . . . . . . . this issue is definitely not a jumping on point, so anyone tuning in right now will be rather baffled as to what's going on. . . . . . but anyone who has been reading, the main character Takeo has really been dragged into a mess by his Brother. and now he has to face a pursuing army with orders to bring him in dead or alive. . . . . . . there were a few mysteries introduced, that i'm sure will be addressed in future issues. . . . . . the issue ends abruptly with a criffhanger. which will probably read much better as a trade? but right now i'm biting my nails with anticipation as to what will come next. more
