The Second Showdown
With this issue, we close out our first story arch, or so the book claims. See, this really just progresses on to another portion of the story, which certain isn't bad, but leaves this issue feeling less like the "conclusion" it's supposed to and more like a means of setting up for what's to come.
We finally get to see what Gorr has been planning all along, as well as how he's gotten to this point (which was rather unexpected to me), and it's pretty fascinating, if not a little out there. I know Gorr is pretty twisted, but we're presented with some messed up stuff here. Also, I don't feel like Gorr's plans are really explained well, and maybe that's the point, but we're teased with details only to have them taken away, which is kind of annoying.
However, this is still a great book, and encourages me to push forward the the story still. I'm uncertain as where Aaron wants to take us next, but, considering what he's shown us so far, I'm sure it's pretty sweet.
