This is the fight that will decide the fate of mankind against Bolabogg’s forces. Coming to the rescue is an old partner from Nara’s mentor Noel Radeemer’s past. Joan saves Nara and mentor’s life just in time, but what is she hiding, and why is she committing all those hits on selected targets, such as a presidential candidate?

Howard introduces new intrigues in this story, which is great. Retreading the old plotlines and was making the series become too much like a soap opera. The one criticism with the current series, is that with all the information revealed in the first two, it’s easy to see where things are going and what Howard will reveal to Nara in upcoming issues.

Visually, Howard plays more with page compositions than in the past. He’s not tagging into a strict gridlock page panel. His inks are also evolving as the lines are becoming thicker in a many places and thinners in others. One can feel how relax and more comfortable he is with this looser layout and style. The facial expressions of characters are also more diverse than in the past.
