The new cycle starts well ...

This album is worthy of the best days of Thorgal and engages well after the previous cycle. I was desperate at the thought of losing Van Hamme as a screenwriter but Sente has met the challenge I find and will no doubt bring new blood. Everything fits and suspense is there again. The gods (?) Will still play "simple" mortal and that's fine like this. I look forward to later.
I would have given in Note 5 but I admit still regret the passing of Thorgal in the background and the respect of older albums (although Rosinski is more than ever a master), so that for me this album still does not beat "The Archers". I always cross my fingers that Thorgal is forced to resume service; is this party?
