The Writing:
The storytelling in this issue is top-notch. The introduction of characters like Killswitch and Charon adds depth and intrigue to the narrative, leaving readers eager for more of their backgrounds. Parrott masterfully weaves the backstories of various characters, maintaining a perfect balance of action and character development, making it impossible to put the book down.

The distinction in color palettes between the land of the living and the sun stone is a clever choice, grounding readers and aiding in the story’s clarity. The brighter colors in the living world intensify the action sequences, effectively conveying the chaos that unfolds.
