You Can't Go Home Again
Ben (Starborn) continues to discover that the sci-fi stories he wrote about actually deal with himself and other alien worlds.
The Good
The story is beginning to unfold. The idea of being thrown into an intergalactic battle based on what you thought were just stories from your imagination would be a crazy experience. For Ben Warner, he's discovering more and more that everything he wrote about is part of his long forgotten past. Sounds like fun but he has hordes of aliens determined to prevent the heir to the House of Bin to make it to his homeworld. We're seeing more alien species and find out who killed his father. The introduction of an ally may help turn the tables in Ben and Tara's favor but the revelation at the end now turns the entire book on its side.I've been enjoying the story but Roberson's storytelling feels tighter and faster paced in this issue. We're finally getting the big twist that was mentioned before but somehow (and thankfully) I had forgotten it. I had also mentioned that in previous issues Randolph's character designs felt a little generic, specifically in the armor designs of Ben and Tara. The depiction of more alien species and different settings added some variety that really spruced up the visuals.
