Meanwhile, Winona believes they've summoned The Morrigan, but is it too late to save her people from Brigid's final act of purification?
Issues of faith and doubt, life and death, survival and sacrifice meet head to head. Read Full Review
While the flow of the book stumbles in a few places in really making it clear what's going on or who we're dealing with, the general concepts are pretty well-presented. This ages-old fight is getting closer to what could be a true finale and both of them have become more than what they were. Winona in particular has been adapted into what The Morrigan needs in order to protect their people and I really like the dynamic that we see between the two of them as it plays out in Winona's mind. Kanga's artwork continues to be a big draw as there's a really neat sensibility about it with the designs and layouts and the minimalist approach to the landscape of the Fey. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing what's to come next. Read Full Review
I feel like this series is going pretty strong. Don't let the color scheme fool you though, it's pretty serious. It doesn't have the roaring sense of adventure that I tend to like, but it's still a good time. Read Full Review
Last issue, I mentioned how the latter half of the issue featured plenty of action scenes that could have used more polish. For this issue, I hate to nitpick covers, but this one is a change up from the bright, candy colored ones we've had so far that are on brand with the series. Obviously, I understand that these are the baddies, the foot soldiers of Brigid and what's happening is reflecting what's going on, yet it was a design choice that didn't look right to me. What hasn't always worked: the writing. Yet with a femme centered story and some unique plot thread, it can still hold weight. This issue fell out of sync, yet still shows promise if the execution comes through. in further issues. Read Full Review
Once again I am finding myself captivated by moments rather than the overall execution, but there was some interesting interplay of beliefs between the two opposing leads that gave this issue a bit more gravitas.
