Overall still this was good and this is going to sound bad but the race angle was just executed so stupidly. Genuinely had me questioning if King only added it in to make this more “critically applauded” or something

It's fine, but doing a whole issue of just Ruthye talking to herself suggests a vast overestimation of how interesting her endless monologuing is. Also, I'm really not into King's edgy tough girl take on Kara and it's all over the place here. Still, for all that it's an adequately told story, and the sunset scene was properly exciting. Evely's art is as wonderful as ever, and Mat Lopez's colors ar more
