Rex Mundi #18

I've been enjoying Rex Mundi quite a bit lately, even though it has become much more action-oriented and has put less emphasis on the historical and religious aspects of the plot. This issue balances those two things better than the last four or five, as Julien debates religion with the villagers around Lorraine's castle, while also plotting an attack on Lorraine and associates.

This is a taut and exciting issue, with a last panel that hints at an interesting development to come. It's nice to see the newspaper articles return at the end of the book too.
