Trees #3 by Warren Ellis
4.0

And the story trudges on with Issue #3, which follows two stories and helps develop them further.


We see Elgia a little bit closer and find out that there’s more to her than just being a thug’s toy. She teams up with Professor Luca Bongiorno, and he’s going to be taking her on as an apprentice of sorts. He’ll teach her how to disappear, and teach her a whole lot more.




We are also brought back to Chenglei’s story, and his fear of leaving his home. The Special Cultural Zone does not seem to be a place filled with moral, upstanding citizens, and I think Chenglei’s fears are somewhat justified. Zhen, a neighbor of his, will be trying to get Chenglei out into the world he’s come to and out of his shell.


Overall, I think I’m more interested in Elgia’s story and still the research team in the arctic’s versus anyone else I’ve met so far. I’m going to have to wait and see in Issue #4 if that changes or stays the same.
