Sons of the Empire, Part Three: The Burning Times; A Thorn In Their Side?
Ever wonder who the main catalyst of the Salem Witch trials was? This issue answers that question. Of course it's a fantasy story, so don't write Hansel in any school reports. Still, it shows that this guy is crazy dangerous. The issue reads at a swift pace, Hansel being one interesting, and intelligent character, he looks to be politically speaking more than a match for Prince Charming. It's a good issue, yet another one that has a forbodding sense of dread. Something is definitely coming, and this issue, is just one more that will get you ready for it. The back up story is one of my favorites, showing that another mundy has noticed strange things, yet has learned the lesson of what happens if you step out of line.
