[QUOTE="Pauper, post: 6682798, member: 17607"] [b]3 out of 5 rating for DRAGON+ #3[/b] The first couple of issues of Dragon+ seemed like something of a waste of effort -- at least half of the 'content' was advertising that, if someone was knowledgeable enough to know how to get Dragon+, would likely already be well-known information, while a good portion of the rest was simply reprints or lightly-edited restatements of information already published elsewhere. With issue 3, Dragon+ starts to find its feet.The introduction to the new storyline season, Rage of Demons, is long, detailed, and contains information we haven't seen before.
