Comments: The issue opens by introducing several people, but it never explains who they are or why they are important.
Cecelia, Jessie, and Erica are together. Cecelia is the one willing to do what needs to be done, while the other two hope to find another way. In the end, Cecelia comes up with a more humane solution to handle the situation.
Bex is invited to join the Order, and the first thing she needs is a totem. Totems can take the appearance of stuffed animals.
Erica shows that she genuinely cares about Bex.
Erica is a tough young girl who does what she believes is right. She also tries to save everyone she can.
This issue needed more. There were no monsters, no action, and no real sense of danger. The girls are all strong characters, but they needed to be given more to do.
Erica has a commanding presence that naturally draws the reader’s attention. It is interesting to watch her as she grows into the woman she will become in the future. You can already see the qualities that define who she is.
