problem #3 has, within a framing sequence, three short stories featuring a few of the very best characters in the series — but then I recognize that most of the characters are fascinating to me, and I want to understand more about all of them. So anyway… routine artist Craig Rousseau draws the first one, about what sasquatch-man big does on his week off. He’s gone along with this time around by water-sprite Merrow, whom I don’t recall seeing before but quickly came to love, because of her peaceful confidence and calm demeanor.
Kelly Yates then draws an origin story for her, a short but touching charming piece that evokes ancient tales. That’s complied with by comedy drawn by Tad Stones. Choopie, entertaining in his own right, has been chosen as king by a race of gremlins for no understood reason. By the end, they turn out to have their own catchphrase and prospective utility to the team. Funny, emotional, and significant, all in one issue, all written by Todd Dezago.
Issue #4 sets up the next problem conclusion of the first major storyline, as Arisa and MG get closer before the whole location bugs out. There’s more than one villain trying to destory the team, and a cliffhanger, of course, plus an action-packed backup with art by Jason Armstrong. It’s gonna be truly difficult to wait on #5.
