Good issue. Not really a starting point for new readers but excellent for loyal readers from from the beginning like myself. Very much a stand alone issue. The reader finds out the true motivation of the Builders and why they built the "device" in our galaxy near Jupiter. Are the Builders friends or foe? Mr. Soule has created a backstory for the Builders that does not easily answer the friends or foe question. The art work as usual is terrific in this issue and the reader gets a glimpse of a strange and different world. Highly recommend for longtime readers as this series is rapidly heading toward its conclusion.
