I enjoyed this issue . . both in story and art. It's just sad that David Hine and Brian Haberlin only have one issue left. The good news is that Todd McFarlane and Whilce Portacio will be taking over. That should be pretty spectacular, but . . I'll still miss these guys. They've both really brought a lot to this book. But when the creator says that he wants to take control again . . I guess there's not much you can do. This issue we find out some more about Al and Wanda's daughter . . no, not Cyan . . Morana. She's the daughter that they thought they had aborted but in reality . . or rather, more like purgatory . . Mammon has been keeping her hidden away for the last 18 years until she was ready to assume the mantle of Hellspawn. That's the entire reason that Mammon had her bred in the first place . . the reason the Mammon has been manipulating Wanda and Al's family for generations . . to get to this point. But, as I suspected, Cyan is going to be the key to pulling this all apart. I think the magical nature of these girls exist within Wanda's bloodline. But since Al isn't Cyan's father . . Mammon doesn't have the control or influence over her that he does Morana. And with her grand-mother's spirit guiding her . . she's being instructed on just how to defeat these two. Al also brings back the Legion this issue . . you know . . that's all the people that resided within his costume that died the same day and time that he did. However now they're down to less than 12. Also Nyx is still involved in the mix . . for some reason. I really like what David has done with these recent issues. The story has been really compelling. But what really caps it off is the precise, and exquisite pencils of Brian Haberlin. It'll be interesting to see where he lands on his feet. I would imagine that he'd definitely get a job at one of the 'big 2'. I'm looking forward to next issue as it'll wrap up this story-line . . as we begin heading in a new direction. The king is dead . . long live the king!
