It has all come to this. Beautiful art. Amazing, poster-worthy action spread as Sara calls everyone to use their Artifacts. Good writing with enough surprises to entertain but true enough to "reality" that everything is either plausible or inevitable. The ending is . . .

You will want to read the earlier issues to enjoy this one more, but the skillful recap at the beginning will give you all you need to like it.

This issue has a useful backup that lists the debut issue of each of the 13 Artifacts. There's also a solid 2-page backup written by Ron Marz and drawn by Michael Broussard about the Thirteenth Artifact.
