In the days that follow the attack, things fall into a quiet rhythm. Surprisingly quiet. It's strange to feel so at home so quickly. It isn't just me either. I can see it in all of their faces…
Canon seems to find a new purpose and (surprisingly) someone to share it with. If you told me that muscles would be talking to shroud animals like they were pets, I’d have thought you were crazy. But there she is, laughing out loud like I haven’t heard from her in a long time.
We feel free, that's the thing. Suddenly there are streams for hunter to fish alongside Dr. Swann, the tribe leader. There are woods to hunt. We’re no longer trapped in the confines of a needle.
It feels like watching my friends come to life.
Once again Comixology have teamed up with Scott Snyder to produce a new original series. I couldn't resist giving it a go having enjoyed Clear (Comixology Originals) #1, Night of the Ghoul (comiXology Originals) #1, Canary (Comixology Originals) #1, and We Have Demons (comiXology Originals) #1. The twist this time is that the story is also written by his son, Jack.
The story is set 15 years after the spread of the deadly infection that has blighted the Earth. The shroud devoured everything in its wake leaving humanity to survive in makeshift towers built atop of diamond foundations, the only substance known to resist the darkness wave.
In one such group of towers, known as 'kits' we meet our protagonists. Barely surviving, the community has to pay a 'protection' fee to a local menace, Charon, who tells of terrors beyond the settlement, creatures born within the shroud, which he alone can keep at bay.
Having found a mysterious stranger collapsed at the foot of their settlement; he tells of a natural formation of 'black diamond' and a sanctuary for all those who can get there. Intrigued, the gang set off with their new 'friend' in tow. Soon they discover that Charon's warnings were true as they come up close to the leviathans living within the shroud.
Having survived being used as a pawn in the fierce rivalry between Charon and Rowan, the stranger they trusted, the gang escape only to crashland on the mysterious black diamond island where they are brought back to health by the inhabitants and warned about the 'heretics' who also inhabit the land.
Their newfound peace doesn't last long as the heretics attack the village, delaying the vital repairs to the glider. The gang plan on telling the world of the black diamond sanctuary but there are forces at play who don't want that to happen.
Lots of twists packed into this issue. It is another shorter one but it flowed well and gets the series back up to 5 stars.

Misadventures continue
The motley crew of friends having just settled into a rhythmic seemingly peaceful life in their promised land are once again challenged and seem to have fallen into another deep soup.
Problems lurk everywhere and there seems no end in sight. Expected allies now seem averse.
The art is nice and the story has evolved beyond just a friends adventure but interest is faltering with nothing much to look forward for that is surprising.
The fresh turn at the end seems promising for the following volume.
