This was a really good issue, which is a little surprising considering it's a tie-in for an event but also the first issue in a relaunched title. Odd choice, but I really liked it. Could've done without the eyeroll-inducing offhanded anti-America remarks (like, really? A career thief has a problem with "stolen" land?), but otherwise I love the high stakes and the darker tone. And it was really, re ally nice to have some good art for a change. Sidenote: those Pepe Larraz covers are stunning.more

Solid start. Great action, good writing, and an intriguing mystery along with an not-wholly-original but still entertaining premise. Nice to be able to picture specific voices when reading lines of dialogue, and I couldn't not hear Keanu Reeves talking in his low, growly John Wick voice.

I was only slightly underwhelmed by this ending. Not necessarily because of the way it ended, but more because of the writing. I thought this was a really cool story with tons of fantastic ideas, and combining Japanese and Irish mythology and folklore was really, really neat. The art was awesome throughout too. I just thought the writing could've been a bit sharper. The story could've been pieced together better. Certain concepts and events could've been explained in a more coherent way. The dialogue could've been a little less cheesy at times. The characters could've been a bit more developed. That's not to say it wasn't readable, cause it very much was, and I really did enjoy it. But the writing was definitely the one thing that kept this good story from being a GREAT story.

Overall though, I do find myself sad to be done, which is always a mark of a book that was well worth reading. Thanks, Wayward.more

Epic.

Crazy. Things are ramping up for an epic final showdown.

Really good issue. Awesome art, great action, and some good humour in places. I am curious to see how well things get wrapped up in the next few issues, I feel like there's a lot of loose threads still (see what I did there?).

Great art in this one. A nice set up for the final arc.

All I want to know is how in the world did Felicia conceal her Black Cat suit underneath her wedding dress...?

Not sure why this is rated so low, I quite enjoyed it. Was nice to see Odessa get what was coming to her. She's barely been in this series but I can't help but find her insufferable.

An alright issue overall, but an admittedly awesome ending.

Fun issue. Again, a few hilarious jokes, a few that didn't land. Overall entertaining and nice to look at though.

As a Canadian, I couldn't help but notice fellow canucklehead Jed Mackay calling it "pop" instead of "soda". A funny slip, but a slip nonetheless. Art was good again here, but at the same time, good grief...how many different artists can they go through in 12 issues? Can we get a little bit of artistic consistency please?

Also, Deadpool's line was spot-on and hilarious. And Felicia's re dhead joke was great too. Mackay's jokes don't always land, but when they do they're brilliant.more

A really fun issue with great art (finally!). This issue is what I need this series to be. More of this and less of whatever last issue was.

Not super action packed, but a nice emotional conclusion to the penultimate arc of this series. Entering the last 5 issues, I'm excited to see how things get wrapped up.

This wasn't good. Basically just a history of the thieves guild, but it makes no sense cause Odessa is telling it to the Black Fox who literally knows all about it already. Helpful for the reader, sure. But do it in a way that actually makes sense in the context of the story. Felicia was barely in this, and I don't find Odessa to be a compelling character whatsoever. Not to mention the art was at an all-time bad in this issue, or maybe it just seems way worse after getting some decent art in the previous one. Either way, weakest issue so far.more

Dang, what the heck is going on? Didn't see that twist coming.

This doesn't really seem to advance the plot all that much, but it was still a cool issue.
