Man this series is all over the place. One issue will be so weird and confusing then the next issue will be awesome. This issue shows the new recruit Neha going thru assassin training. I like the way this was paced out. Kind of a wash rinse repeat style as she is learning and slowly getting the Hang of things. The issue ends showing that after the events that transpired, retaliation is coming.

The art and story are working for me.

Well, well. A really enjoyable issue. The first so far.

All assassin training, no incomprehensible blah-blah sci-fi.

I've been so annoyed with this series that I hadn't really acknowledged the quality of art. It is utterly fantastic. Stunning. Among the best I've ever seen in a comic book. In this issue, the styles are consistent and wondrous.

4.25 Stars. Another really fun installment of what has become one of my favorite series. Great writing, great artwork, everything I have come to expect from Johnathan Hickman. Hickman's probably my favorite comic book writer, he's done so much great stuff in the creator owned world as well as the mainstream, and I hope he keeps it up for a very long time. Highly recommend!

Hickman is polarizing. Love him. Hate him. I'm somewhere in between. He's not brilliant. But he's not not brilliant. In any case, DECORUM has been exquisite and this installment was no exception. If I'd give it 10 stars if I could.
