Comments: The issue opens with some wonderful artwork showing us an amazing city. The people are beautifully illustrated with a nice variety to their looks. The colors stand out giving the outfits a outstanding appearance.
Cronos and Deimos are twins who do care about each other and look out for each other.
The story needs a lot more explanation to it. What is going on and why should we are? Something happened to Prince Deimos but nothing of it is shown.
In a council meeting Cronos acts out again what is he doing? What are his actions? Yes we see he has some power but what exactly is it, what can he do? To understand what is going on some kind of explanation is needed.
Where and when does this story take place?
The characters look great yet for us to care about them we need to know more about them and the situation they are in. The read needs to know something about the people to want to read about them.
Cronos and Deimos as two brothers work and their love for each other is made clear.

Comments: The creature art is gorgeous. The characters are all well drawn.
We learn this story takes place on the world Nexus. The creatures are definitely not from Earth.
Now Deimos and Adonis are off to make peace, where and why do they need to make peace? These are things it would be nice to know. Are Deimos and Adonis in a relationship? What is their situation?
So there is something going on between Lyaxia and Lhander.
Now it is mentioned that some of the people here have powers. What kind of powers is not said or shown. Another mystery to add to the many unanswered questions. Aw so there is magic here it is just not used because some mysterious Guardians would come after you if you did. What would they do to you? It would be nice to have more answers than questions.
Deimos and Adonis while in the woods are attacked. This attack leads to getting to see Aker Guardian of the Netherworld. This dragon like creature is stunning.
Raziella is introduced. What is her mission? She is demonstrating power. What are the ghostly figures walking around?
The story jumps around way to much from one character to the next. It needs to focus.
In the back of this issue does offer some explanation as to the where and who of this book. So basically Mahees just wants to rule it all. That is why he wants to attack Chronos and the Capitol City of Titaan.
The art does stand out in this comic and the dragon is one powerfully illustrated beast.

Comments: Deimos and Adonis are in the enemies city. Here Deimos fights a huge Dog Demon both are using magic. The Dog Demon half human and half dog is a viscous creature ready to kill. Deimos now acts to help and without hesitation.
Adonis gets into a pit to show his skills against the Lhander solders. Deimos does not sit ideally by. He uses his powers one of which is speed. The scene of Deimos running is a scene of hope and confidence.
Apophis a giant serpentine creature makes an appearance. Anubis controls the beast and he also has magical powers. These young gods all seem to have some powers of some kind.
Ares decides to work with Chronos is drawn in a beautifully designed suit of armor.
This issue leaves no doubt about the relationship between Deimos and Adonis. Deimos now has a new suit of armor as well.
We see here Deimos has an attitude and he is not as good natured as he would like you to think.
The story is more focused here as we see Deimos on his mission of peace yet is he really so peaceful. Both him and his brother now wear suits of armor which are for war.
The main city of Lhander is under attack and its ruler is ready to fight back.
The ending delivers some great looking art as a God arrives and some mysterious figure seems to be manipulating things. The series is picking up and getting better as it goes on.
