#33 - The Day that Will Come

Read this yesterday, after having finished the scan.

Overall a good, enclosed story. You don't get the imperession of wasted potential as with #32. Though it wouldn't be a very outstanding issue, were it not for

Spoiler:: the Raider dying at the end. This really surprised me. Sure, they don't show him die and in #34 he is referenced as "vanished", but if you think about it, he even leaves behind a son who'll now be an orphan. It seems pretty extreme for a Disney comic, especially after portraiting him much more likeable than your commonplace villain.

Sure, it was all just to set up #34 (which I consider to be an even better issue), but...

Spoiler:: Dammit does this series pull on my strings

I even did like the way Kronin dies. Yeah, keep begging, you ass. You have it coming for replacing Raider in Pikappa...

So yeah.

Well, a really good one, for me.
Really well done and surprising.
But... I don't know if everyone here (except italians, obviously) have already read the issue after this ("Nothing Personal"), but if you didn't, well, it's a very surprising issue too. Maybe more than this one. At least, those two issues are two of my favorites. Smile

Nothing Personal almost rivals Fragments of Autumn in being my most favorite issue.

Spoiler:: And it was also the first time I got introduced to Raider. I'm serious, that issue was the first one I read that had Raider in it.

Just like how I was first introduced to Xadhoom in Metamorphosis... It was also the first issue I ever read, so those half-evronians were the first evronians i was introduced to.

... I really got introduced to this series the wrong way.

Spoiler:: I got introduced to PK with the last issue of the second serie. And I've read the third then. And I DIDN'T know that.
You're not the only one who got introduced to this series the wrong way.

I just read this, you can find my comment in another thread. I'll just say that Raider was goddamn awesome in this issue, he jumped a few steps up in my list of favourite PKNA characters.
