To start, it looks like your question got answered Jugus. At the very beginning the ''Infinity'' finally deployed it's underslung frigates. Funny how that popped up right after you questioned it. Anyway, I have to say, this was a pretty decent read. Unfortunately there were a few problems. First, the art. The art was consistent for the first three issues of this story, and then BAM! All of a sudden it looks atrocious, primarily the human faces. We already got a glimpse of demonic Halsey above, but towards the end we get a mushy looking Palmer. Why didn't they just maintain the same artist throughout this story arc? Second, the harvester served no real purpose. It was almost like a setup specifically for Palmer, which didn't make much sense to me. Why drop that behemoth for 1 Spartan? Why drop it at all? Was it there for some other purpose? Also, why didn't Palmer rush Halsey back in the other direction instead of "following" her? Also, no showdown between Sali & Jul this time folks. I understand the issue is limited to a certain number of pages but come one! Still, can't wait to see the Absolute record and "Tanaka".--'''''[[User:Killamin7i|<span style="color:Black; font-family: Arial;">Killamin</span><span style="color:red; font-family: Arial;">7</span><span style="color:black; font-family: Arial;">i</span>]]''''' [[User talk:Killamin7i|<font color="Gray">///</font>]] 09:49, 25 March 2015 (EDT) | To start, it looks like your question got answered Jugus.

:As of this issue, consider me officially sold on DuffyB. Halsey's systematic dismantling of Palmer's arguments was a glorious thing to behold, mostly because of how unexpected it was and how far it went with tearing down the Travissian view of her character. And I'd never have guessed they'd call Palmer out for her flaws so directly. A few issues back I commented that Palmer should have to face the consequences of her actions at some point and I have to give credit where credit is due because that seems to be finally happening now; hopefully this'll serve as a catalyst for some much-needed character growth for her. The presence of ''Infinity'''s sub-vessels was a welcome sight too, and despite 'Nyon's rebellion ultimately amounting for nothing it was somewhat refreshing that there was more going on in this conflict than merely the tired UNSC vs. Covenant setup. And yeah, some of the faces were extremely awkward-looking, though I thought the linework was better overall (barring some exceptions like one obviously Photoshop-filtered-from-a-screenshot DMR). Still, this issue was definitely a winner for me for the satisfying Halsey-Palmer interaction alone. --[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] <small>([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]])</small> 13:10, 25 March 2015 (EDT) | |||
