The children’s view on the story not only provides insight into what happened but also sheds light on their evolving powers during training, making it a unique way to fill in gaps and set the stage for future developments. Doug’s changing emotions throughout the issue add to the depth of the characters and amplify the danger posed by Master Shaw and the dragon.

The writing, storytelling setup, and execution are top-notch, delivering an emotional punch that resonates strongly with readers. The full-page spreads based on the content of the letters are a brilliant and unprecedented concept, immersing readers in the story in a new way.

The art and colors in this issue do an excellent job of conveying tone and emotion, enhancing the overall experience. The lettering, designed to mimic a teenager’s handwriting, adds a layer of authenticity and helps readers see events through Doug’s eyes.

With just two issues left in the series, the anticipation for the conclusion is bittersweet. Fire Power continues to be a standout title It’s a must-read for fans of the series and anyone looking for a unique and emotionally charged comic book experience.
