Comments: The King of Jerusalem Conrad de Montferrat is attacked and his attackers are shown fleeing. This scene has action as the attack is carried out and afterwords as well.
Than we switch to Aya and her training. She is drawn so beautifully. She is drawn wonderfully using shading on her body which looks gorgeous. The overall look of the art does deliver a setting that fits the story perfectly.
As you read this book the plot of it is not easy to figure out other then it is introducing a few characters. Yet why are we reading about them? What are they doing? Why is Hamza tortured?
Aya does have a decision to make and it is a hard one.
Great art and the time period is portayed just as yu would expect. The story needs to explain things a lot more. To be specific. The characters are drawn amazingly but the characters themselves for the reader to care more about them they have to know more.
Yes Aya and Hamza had arelationship. What was the purpose of their training? Aya is a promising character that it would be great to see in an adventure that focuses on her.

Comments: Captain Ysolda Mercadier, this sword-for-hire is a cute goth woman. She delivers Everard Blackthorne to Simon De Senlis. Simon is the ruler the Marquees now has to work with Blackthorne with his life at stake.
Three warriors all whom thought they were enemies come togther against one man the Marquees. They must work together and fight to win their freedom. Two tough men Faulkes and Blackthorne and one cute goth Mercadier the three do not seem like they could work together yet they do. Freedom is a good motivator.
The scenes in the rain do give the reader a feel of actually being in that weather as you see the characters in it.
King Richard's army is on the march and its going to Nottingham. They look impressive.
This story taking place in old England has a surprise in the mercenary transgender female. She is the best character in this issue. She is small yet you know she can fight even though you do not see her fight in this issue. Captain Ysolda Mercadier is someone you will want to see more of.
