Reviews

[Mega · Rating 3 out of 5]

Oh gee, an issue of a comic where a character attempts to assassinate another character(s), and shenanigans ensue. Never seen that done before.

Also, I have nothing else to say......... seriously. Everything that you think would happen in this issue does happen, and there's nothing to make fun of here besides how generic it is. So I will go ahead and just go with a classic statement that we can all agree on to make fun of this comic instead..... fuck Ubisoft..... that is all.
