adventurous challenging dark tense fast-paced

4.0

 A great continuation! Story is still interesting and engaging. 
I did find the artwork in here a little more sloppy and sometimes indistinguishable in panels where a lot is happening. I also felt the ending was a bit too rushed and all of a sudden just flipped, but I understand this is a comic and it doesn’t have all the time in the world. 
The dialogue at times felt rather cheesy as well. 

Regardless of all that I’m still looking forward to see what happens in the next, am sad it’s nearly over. :(

Gosh this was such a great show and I think this comic really does it justice.
