by Joong-Ki Park, 199 pages The Manutu assassination plot against the Kugai does not fare well, though Yaki, Batu, and the others don't let the enemy off lightly. But sadly, not all of their small group walk away, either. In retaliation, the Kugai start beefing up their recruitment efforts, and one of their new faces is not so new to the reader, though he's changed much since last we saw him. What's next for the beaten rebels and the long-suffering people for whom they fight?
Owy, owy, owy. This volume hurts. Not just for those we lose, but for those we meet again who are lost in an all together different way. Communication needs to happen soon, or an already tragic story will only get worse. If it makes me care this much, I must like it; but that doesn't mean I'll be happy if all goes as badly as it could. Great fighting action and powerful, sometimes painful, images. This is one series where I wish they had the time and money to color it, because the full-color covers and occasionally colored intro pages are just kewl.
