A Child in The World...
The Plot:
This is it. The child of Death and Xiaolian faces the Horsemen and his destiny begins.
The Good:
This moment has been building for some time and it is well worth the wait. Hickman does a fantastic job at centering this issue around Babylon and him beginning to fulfill his destiny. The combination of science and apocalyptic prophecy involved in this book is absolutely amazing. The child entering the physical world for the first time was a journey long in the making and it is delivered perfectly in this issue. His AI companion was also extremely entertaining and the name the child picks for him was a very nice touch.
The art throughout this entire series by Dragotta has been absolutely fantastic. The world building could not have been accomplished without his artistic talents.
The Bad:
Nothing. I would read this book if it was a weekly title.
The Grade:
5/5
