Review
So this is it for me, the third issue trial. Does it make it, or will it fall from the pull list?

The answer is a little of both.

I'm convinced that this story will pan out and at least be decent. The action is there, but the massive expositions and words balloons that are covering up some gorgeous art is just something I can't stand.

But, I do want to continue with this book. So I've come to the conclusion that a trade-wait this book will be. I'd rather just take it all in at once, instead of it getting piece by piece.

There are some moments  in the book that make for a good moment, but it feels like it needs to be read all at once. Seeing the hunter with his white whale hallucination was one of those great moments. And the book doesn't read like it is tailoring to the monthly crowd, it is definitely something that is being built more for the trade than the monthly.

So yes, it is like a stay of execution, but I just hope I won't regret waiting.
