STORY OVERVIEW:
Vector Theta has been activated by Zerta Trion who needs Vector to reassemble him so he can fight the Quintessons. The War has taken its toll on the Zertonians and the Agorrians as they just try and fight for their very survival. At the same time, Pythona is also taking the fight to the Quintessons and even has a unique encounter with Proximus. Meanwhile, on Agorria their leader Dulin and his son Darak are making their final stand. But it is to no avail as they are captured by the Tribunal and put on a weird trial.
WRITING:
With one issue of the Quintesson War saga left, there is still no clear-cut winner. Robert Kirkman has been able to blur the line and keep the reader guessing who will win. The action in this issue is everywhere and on almost every page. This makes for an exciting read with a lot going on. Unfortunately, the story is kind of all over the place and confusing at times. With this being the direct setup for the final issue of the arc, a little more focus on the story would have been nice. It feels like Kirkman is herding cats in this issue which will leave some readers completely lost, well at best have other readers scratching their heads.
ARTWORK:
The artwork in this issue is fantastic and has a lot going on. Andrei Bressan showed so much action and conflict with great detail. Every page has an epic feel to it and really shows the fight that is at hand. Bressan’s artwork makes this issue better and is the highlight of this issue for sure. Dee Cunnife’s colors make the artwork pop out of the panel and draw your eyes to every image. Well Rus Wooton’s letters make the dialogue easy to follow and helps the reader know exactly the tone and feeling of what is going on.

Final Thoughts:
Void Rivals #29 puts us on the final path to the end of the Quintesson War. The action is non-stop and, in your face, which creates a great deal of excitement. The art captures all of this action in great detail. The only downside is that the story is kind of all over the place which can be confusing at times. This arc has felt a little underwhelming and will really need to stick the landing on the finish to be memorable.
FINAL GRADE: 7.5/10
