Comments: Will Nolan is a mercenary for hire in this future world. The world has gone to hell. The art brings out the ruin and disrepair of the city.
There is a lot going on and many players on the field. It is to bad not a lot of it is explained.
What is Will and the other almost humans we are shown? How did they come to be?
This post-apocalyptic world does have its dangers. It is also filled with mysteries. In this world surviving is a way of life. Will Nolan has made it his job to keep people alive as long as they pay him enough. Will is a guy you can identify with, he is a normal guy just making a living. You will like him.

Comments: This story takes place in a post apocalyptic world. Here Will, Doc and Molly and a few others such as Rook are going on a journey with a mysterious cargo. Will is a mercenary for hire, you pay him he gets the job done.
In this world evil does exist. Eldritch serves some mysterious Master. The Council that also serves the Master has doubts of Eldritch. Eldritch from the art is shown that he is not to be doubted.
Goblins exist in this future world and you do not want to meet them. They are portrayed just as you would imagine them to be. Well accept for the mounted flying giant bat that is new.
This issue does move a little to slowly and lacks in action.
The characters all all interesting and you will find yourself wanting to know more about all of them.

Comments: The team is being chased by Orks and one is a giant. Eli a strange guy steps in to help them.
Eldritch and his dragon reek of evil. The dragon is illustrated to give it a ominous savage look.
The art overall does portray the characters well enough and they do look as if they fit into their surroundings. The story just has these people going on their journey with not all that much happening. There is a little character development but there should have been more.
The characters are all done well enough we just need them doing more. Plus it would be nice to get some hints to the mysteries.
The Orcs play a big part but again more about them and their plans would be nice to know. Plus who is their mysterious Master?

Comments: Zach who has just joined the team shows that he is more than just an ordinary human.
Eldritch is shown willing to do anything for power. We are shown his Master here who looks like death itself.
The two orcs sitting around chatting about human garbage is cute.
The group keeps traveling but to where and why is still a mystery. They do spend a lot of time traveling and that is mainly what they do. Not a lot happens as they travel. This would be a good time to give some hints or answers to what and why.
As the travelers make a pit stop and Orc party comes along. There is some build up to this. Than the unexpected happens and the battle is joined.
