The Siege of Paris ends with some amazing widescreen shots of the tower that has held off the invaders and protected Paris for the last two issues being overrun by Sigfred's forces. There are many pages of battle in this issue, which serve as a backdrop to our protagonist, Matts's narration.
Matts has been laid up in a field hospital since his actions last issue that broke the supply lines of the French, and he ruminates on the nature of his life. As usual, Wood enters the mind of a person from a world very different from ours, but is able to convey his values and desires with a modern sensibility.
What really makes this issue though is the art. Gane has done a terrific job on this arc, and I hope to see more work from him soon.
(Note: This is not the actual cover art for this issue; I don't know why I couldn't find the proper cover anywhere).
