After reading the last entry in the ''Exposure'' story arc, I have to say I'm impressed with the writing of this new author. Particular the ending of this issue is what caught me off guard. It was a clever idea and nice to add a curve-ball to further fuel our interest in ONI's shenanigans. That alone will make me want to see what happens next in the next story arc. Other than that I liked the overall comic. The action was welled paced and I like the addition of the queen (who was rather ruthless - "''Kill him!''"). It's nice to see other areas of the Haloverse explored. I also liked the character development primarily from Ray, how she seems emotionally attached to Thorne. I see them dating in the ''Spartan Ops: The Janus Key'' story arc. You know it's going to happen, just a matter of time. The only true flaws I saw with this issue was two things. First is the art, mainly with the human characters. I always had a problem with the consistency of the way characters were drawn. In the previous issue it was Throne and Ray, now Palmer and Majestic squad get the "lazy artist" treatment. Its a bit of a disappointment and I wish the artist took better care in maintaining character appearances from issue to issue to avoid making it seem like different artist worked on the issues (even if different artist work on the issue). They should operate like a company, where the work produced by this company is consistent across all drawings, looking like it the company has their -yoink!- together. The second problem is the forgotten slaves. We don't see any of them mentioned or show up in this issue. Maybe they were rescued, killed, or fled. Who knows? And that's a problem. It would've been interesting to see them being led to a dropship or something at least in one or two panels. Oh well. Anyway, it was a good conclusion to this story arc and adds something to the Haloverse compared to the ''last 72 hours''.--'''''[[User:Killamin7|<span style="color:Black; font-family: Arial;">Killamin7</span>]]''''' <small>['''''[[User talk:Killamin7|<font color="Red">Comm</font>]]'''''|'''''[[Special:Contributions/Killamin7|<font color="Black">Files</font>]]''''']</small> 19:58, 30 November 2014 (EST) | |||
