Once more, we have to say that this is awesome comicbook storytelling at its best! Why? Look at that cover. We see a supporting character that has been building towards this - her emergence as a new fully fledged super heroine - to the point that the villain of the day (another newbie) is not even mentioned on the cover!In terms of villains, it continues from the last issue as the Flight, what remains of them, not even a proper team, is assembled in response to their comrade, Shaman's mystical plea. They come, one and all including his daughter Elizabeth to this particularly bleak part of Canada in the hopes of piercing some mystic barrier and tracing the evil to its source ... to better understand it and thus defeat it!
It's all awesome artwork and super fast pacing in terms of storyline ... even the flashback was awesome with an awesome twist!
But what's more important here as the cover clearly indicates is Talisman - or rather how Shaman got his daughter to become the Talisman. And one has to wonder ... is she being manipulated and is he the manipulator here? But we know it will be another story for another day and knowing Byrne we trust him to make it ... you guessed it ... awesome!
