Typically these ‘what happened between Movie A and Movie B’ sort of tie in stories are a bit rubbish. Typically a crash grab. But a combination of a safe, but interesting, story mixed with extremely good art and you’re on to a winner.

Pretty good story, but a bit of a slow burn while we get to know some new and intriguing characters. I didn't love the art, but I think that was more the colouring than the pencils themselves, and it was good enough to keep me going and to make me get the next volume.
