Comments: Everyone is after Jace Boucher aka “The Butcher”. Jace fights hard and he delivers a fighter if you survive you will not forget. He is a killer trained to be so his whole life. Jace is not presented as a character you will care about one way or another.
Maven a frind of Jace’s has power. She can create monsters to protect herself. She is the stand out character of this issue. She can hold her own in a battle. Her ravens are frightening creatures.
Jolie she does what she wants and with a small army of White Masks to do her bidding and killing she commands power.
Ok this story takes an unexpected turn. Not sure where this is going.
Jace has a tete-a-tete with a hunter. They flirt a bit and fight. The way it is done there is no tension or excitement to it. No fun either. Magic seems to have reared its head and the way it is used is new for tis series.
Jace is a hunter and a killer and it would be great to see him doing that and living up to his name The Butcher.
