The Sword #17

by the Luna Brothers

Things are getting more and more dangerous for Dara as Knossos turns into a giant mountain man (getting himself on CNN in the process), and Malia flies down to Mexico to express her anger at the both of them.

This is another action-heavy issue, with a couple of flashbacks added to both slow down the momentum of the story, and to provide some characterization and development. It's a pretty standard formula for this book now, but it's one that is continuing to work.

This title has fallen off its schedule a little lately, but has been remarkably consistent over the last year and a half, in terms of both shipping and artistic quality. There can't be that many issues left in this story, which is a shame, as its an original and inventive piece of work.
