Em and Schrodinger are in search of Peter, and their search
brings them to a hidden repository of knowledge far out in a desert. There they
find both less and more than they sought for, as the Shadows disrupt their
search and Em and Schrodinger are separated.
This is a story that may prove interesting over the long
haul. It’s possible that it won’t, of course, but I like to stay optimistic
when it comes to ‘urban fantasy’. There are a lot of variables; for example,
this issue doesn’t give any hint as to what Em is really seeking. But old
roleplayers like me usually embrace the quest narrative pretty easily. The art
looks nice too; the team does well at the juxtaposition of past and future
styles.
So there’s enough here to pique my interest, as a fantasy nut
and as an enjoyer of detailed stories. I’d like to go back and read the first
two issues, though, just to get the flow of it.
