Appreciate what it's trying to do, but this very talky issue could have worked better if we actually SAW everything they were talking about. Which all sounded super interesting.

While I felt better about Guara's interiors this time around, I, simultaneously, thought that Onyebuchi's script took a bit of a dip here. Not bad at all, but not as interesting as the previous issue, unfortunately. Also, I know that misleading covers has been a thing for decades in comics, but it's still worth pointing out that the cover of this has very little to do with the actual contents of the issue.

Unremarkable. Return of don't-call-me Nightshade is - something.

There's a lot of stuff in this issue that I like. Some of the dialogue is tasty; some of the character renderings are beautiful. And I actually appreciate the exposition in the last act explaining what the hell's going on in Mohannda.
But structurally, this is a mess. In words and art. The script doesn't build tension or deliver payoffs. Those pretty characters are all too often just posing randomly in a featureless void.
This is frustrating. This is *not* a mediocre comic. It's an ambitious one, but this month, at least, the creators' reach exceeds their grasp.

A little better than last issue but I still don´t like the writing. The art is also not great.

Nothing happens, just an explanation of a backstory.
