I thought it was fine. I liked it. It's just we came off an amazing issue 2, and this action focused issue was not at the same emotional level. It was a hell of an action book, and looked great, but that's about it.

Pinned down, outgunned, and running on fumes, Milton Shaw makes a desperate push across enemy lines—with a squad of Narenian soldiers and a relentless bruiser on his heels. Trapped between a dam and a detonator, Milton’s last shot at survival is running out fast.

A little steep with the price. I wasn't too concerned with the back matter. It really didn't interest me to read all that. The main story was fine. Felt like it just ended when it started to get good. The art was great.

This series is not as consistent as Cruel Universe. The murder mystery one was just kind of cheesy. The other two were fine, I just didn't care for the fact they were not as fleshed out as I would have liked. That's unfortunately more of an issue with the anthology style.
