While this is commencing, the team tries to execute their rescue plan. The writing shows their awkwardness as they send one to maneuver through the historic building.

READ LAST ISSUE’S REVIEW HERE!
Di Nicuolo & Beredo present the standoff between Fel and her dad with a solid amount of tension. Their expression clash just enough to push the other key players into place. Kevin’s advancement works to portray his nervousness. It also allows for the true hero in him to emerge. Beredo’s coloring makes the moments facing the guards that more impactful. It keys in on unlocking his staff’s abilities. The results are worth the effort.
A full page image brings the team in properly for action. Panels carry an energetic feel as the fight kicks in. A strong two page splash accelerates the key combat. This energy moves into Marnie’s rescue. Another great full page shows the team at the front gates. “What an entrance” indeed. The final fight moves very quickly. There’s a fair share of action shots to bring a conclusion to Fel’s chat. The fallout crafts a steady ending with more left on the table. A last full image says goodbye form the group but hopefully not for too long.
FINAL GRADE: 9.3
