BONUS REVIEW by GARY OWENS
The cover got me. Notice the Zeus! Unbound zap words, with the conflagration in the background, as Zeus is being ripped, literally, in half. Inside, Salazar offers stunning artwork on a chilling story where the good, and the bad, come together to stop Zeus, and the overthrow of the world. Yes, great artwork, but with a downside: abrupt pacing that spoils parts of the story. It’s a challenge, I know, to get a story to have an adequate buildup, with the obligatory cliffhanger, in x pages, all at a leveled pace, yet this issue, for me, lacked patience on the ‘adequate’ part. There were places I needed to fill in the gaps, which stopped me cold and made me wonder if I needed to visit the eye doctor, but after a reread, seeing that, no, it WAS the story. Disappointing, yes, but it’s exciting to see, and, despite it, I’m wondering what’s going to happen next.
