I don't know how many of you out there read the original series of this, but . . it usually consisted of 1 to 3 issue story-arcs. They seemed to be self-contained stories, but in the overall scheme of things . . everything was connected. It seemed like everytime you got to where you forgot about some previous storyline . . something would happen to connect it all. It's what I like so much about Mike Grell's writing. This story, our re-immersion into the world of Skartaris has lasted 6 issues. However, just because the story-line has played out doesn't mean that there aren't parts of this story that won't come back later. Such as at the end . . Hawkins has been defeated, but he had gained the chest with the artifact in it. With now one else around to claim it, Kate picks it up. When she opens it, it seems to be some type of gas-mask, or something. I'm sure it's magical, because when she puts it near the skull with the rune symbols all over it there's a magical electricity in the air. And that's how the books ends. Morgan, Tara, Mariah, Shakira I'm sure have all but forgotten about her. However, I'm sure . . she'll be back. Also, what about Deimos' castle that Hawkins has now re-woken? Someone will want to step in and assume the power. Not to mention all the ancient armaments left lying around that I'm sure someone will figure out how to use. Didn't Kate have that book? The operations manual? Anyways, Chad Hardin has stepped in as the penciller of this 'new' series. His style is much different than that of Mike's, but . . I still like it. I think the point of it is to be different. This is a new beginning, afterall. From the previews, however . . it looks like Mike's going to do everything, pencils included, in some upcoming issues. That'll be awesome. So far he's turned in some amazing covers. Anyways, I'm thrilled that this book is back, and now that this first story-arc is over, we can find out what's going on now in Skartaris . . and how things have changed. It has been about 20 years since the first series ended. When this series ended, the books were at a $1 cover price. "Where have all the good times gone?"
