The Rundown: Sophie and Molly find each other in Die and begin to learn the rules of the game.

Sophie discovers Molly within the world and learns that her journey to Die is the same as hers. She also discovers more as a vision of Isabelle appears and gives them both cryptic information about the game as she directs them to find the city at the center of it. As they continue their journey, Molly embraces being a rage knight as she not only deals with the familiar creatures coming after them, but also her own personal issues.

As the two continue to travel, they are unfamiliar with the world and Sophie must make a deal with one of the gods she is bound to in order to find a way to the city. When they arrive, the pair connect with Isabelle again and she tells them that they need to find the others that have been brought over if they have any chance of getting home.

The Story: Gillen continues to craft a thrilling, interesting and engaging story in this issue. I continue to love the world of this story and the lore being created by Gillen within it. I love that the story has a personal connection with each of the players. The story creates some great moments for each character and I look forward to seeing who else is brought into this world and what those conflicts will look like.

The Art: Hans delivers stunning art throughout the issue. The visuals are wonderfully detailed and emotional in their depth of character and environment.
