Pretty strong issue, although the narrative seemed to jump from the threat of the Russian nuke to 'we have solved that now, so let's take down Aric'; there seemed a little disconnect there.

This is not Aric's book, but when Harada can make him appear unsympathetic, that is a worry! Basically I have 3 guys to root for in this title (Gialad, Ninjak and Livewire) with a wolf in the fold with Harada, and who knows what the status quo with aric will be after this story ends (not in a happy place is my guess).

Still, all in all, I liked the issue. :)

If you gave Aric hugs and kisses, would it be XOXO X-O?

I suppose I'm the only one who hated the battle within the computer system? I liked the characterization of livewire, and the overall story progression; but I hated that element.

Also, why would Aric have his men on the ship fighting with spears and the like? That doesn't seem like the actions of an all powerful warrior king. It honestly just didn't sit well with me that his character would be one to throw away his people's lives like that.

Overall a decent issue, but I'll be glad when the virtual reality fighting is over.

I really enjoyed this issue and Unity so far. I am a new reader, new to comics as well, and I have found this easy to follow and easy to get into the story. I look forward to issue#3 soon.
