Comments: The city of Ravnica where ten Guilds exist. There is way to much information in a short time. It is hard to remember it all and understand it all. The art is vague with its subdued tones. The colors are soft.
Two of the Guild Masters find themselves under attack, Ral Zarek and Vraska. Three Guild Master's were attacked yet the way it was presented it seemed as if only two were. It should have been made clearer.
Jace Beleren the Mind-Mage is brought in to find answers and instead more questions are created.
The three Guild Masters are brought together to act together to protect themselves from this attack and more to come.
There is way to many questions left unanswered. The characters a few you are told about the rest you are left guessing about.
Is this a fantasy, sci-fi, mystery story or a combination of all three.
The characters presented need to be stronger and explained more. The setting for the comic needed to be made clearer.
The fight scenes of the actual fighting are done well and deliver an action packed battle.

Comments: This comic makes almost no sense at all. Maybe if you were more familiar with the game Magic it might. The Guildmasters have been attacked. Here they find themselves attacked yet again by assassins.
Orzhova, Izzet and Golgari are featured for the Guilds.
The different looks to the people in each separate Guild are outstanding.
Someone is out to get Planeswalkers. What is a Planeswalker? It would be nice to know.
There are way to many Guilds and people mentioned in this issue. There is no way to know who is who and what they want or why. There are more names used here than a normal person could ever remember. Some explanations are needed on what is going on and who is involved just naming off a bunch of names and places is meaningless.
When the three Guildmasters fight the assassins the art does show this part well.
