Lord Baltimore is missing. The Red King - evil incarnate - is taking over the world. Baltimore's team has been driven apart, with some of them dying on the frontlines while others are in hiding.
Since the day he set out for revenge on the vampire who killed his family, Baltimore's fight has gotten bigger than he'd ever imagined, but what role will he take as evil finally threatens to consume the world?
Ok. So this is a bit like an epic re-cap / passing of time issue. There's some really expansive battle scenes and there's a slew of characters exchanging their ideas. There's a bit of mystery involving an old foe and the rally against the crimson king is beginning. However I feel like this episode is pretty epic and because of this it's not really typical of the Baltimore series which to my mind is very gothic, slowly paced and staggered as our hero explores. So this episode very much feels like a primer for the final push to a conclusion. There's tons to chew on here and it's great to see everyone develop in time, but it wasn't really what I typically love about this series. Artworks good, although I think Ben Stenbeck might be my fav artists so a shame he's only doing the cover for this one. So basically, YAH IT GUD BUT NOT AMAZING BUT HEY THERES LOTS TO DO AND ITS DONE DIDDLY DONE WHAT IT GOTTA DO RIGHT! Ahem. If you compare this to the plague ships, it's certainly interesting to see how far we've come with this series. Now I gotta go out and kill a vampire, excuse me.
