don't understand at all why she put her in a snowglobe, and not just a normal forcefield or something. i enjoyed the flashbacks to the alternate earth, glad we got to see more of marvel-ji's beautiful costume. don't care about qarin at all, though...
Okay, this read seemed to go fast. So, we got some story progression and backstory related to the last issue, and so things feel a little less disjointed than last issue. I know we're supposed to feel sympathy here, and maybe it's just that I'm not the target audience for Qarin, but she's sort of flat personality-wise, and kind of a brat.
I accidnetally left quite a long gap between the last issue and this one. So I didn’t remember a whole lot. Luckily this kind of recaps things. Overall I did really like this issue. There’s some interesting things happening.
