The Blue Flame presents his opening argument to the Tribunal Consensus, finally beginning to make his case for the salvation of humanity by leading a hyper-visual tour of its beautiful accomplishments. But at home in Milwaukee, Sam Brausam is still dealing with extensive PTSD and becomes volatile in the house. With a baby well on the way, his sister Dee demands he go to a tragedy support group and seek help or move out. As the defense makes its counter opening argument, Sam faces prying and morbid curiosity from his new group therapy peers, leading him to seek solace with Reed Gordon again-but she may be unwilling to offer any, given her own more
Blue Flame continues to be an interesting series but I'm more interested in it now as we see Sam trying to reconcile with the past in regards to the Night Brigade and their deaths while also delving into the actual trial side of things in space. Both present familiar elements and tie together well while being their own thing, which gives Gorham a whole lot to play with here visually, both in layouts and the actual design elements. It's a lot of fun and it's a good emotional layer to it as we get things out of both Sam and Reed that really humanizes them wonderfully. I'm curious to see how it's all going to go by the end but it continues to be a solid journey. Read Full Review
Loved almost everything about this. The tension is real and the pressure Sam is under is palpable. Theres some beautiful pages done here and the dislogue to match. The ending portion where both corners of Sams plight are interspersed is phenomenal.
