This is the first issue in this series that hasn't blown me away. Don't get me wrong, I still liked it, but it was mostly backstory and fighting, without the emotional resonance that the other issues have had for me. (Why does everyone always want to be gods?! Every time I come across this in fiction, it is reliably the least interesting thing about the story that it's in.)

I will say, though, that the cover is gorgeous. Best artwork so far!
