I enjoyed this one a lot. I loved seeing Eight again. The plot is a bit slow, but we got to see some things develop and laying more ground for the next few issues. I don't feel like the stakes are so high yet - which is to say: I don't really fear for anyone's death right now. Albeit someone I liked got murdered this issue (a small side character).
I still think that I enjoyed the previous series more, but let's wait a bit. I remember how it took the first one a bit to reach for the stars, too. I'm confident this can still excel later on, maybe in a couple of issues.
