We only had half the warning time we did with the full edition change, which seems appropriate. No great stylistic change here though. Wayne Reynolds is still producing dubiously proportioned characters with a ridiculous number of belts going Raar. Or maybe WAAAAAAUUUUGGGHHH!!!!, which is the theme of the issue. Not just any war mind you, war against the Githyanki in particular. That's a pretty unique topic, that obviously no-one else can cover. (gith are Product Identity, after all ) With any luck, this changeover might be genuinely special. On we march then, keeping up discipline despite spotty morale in the ground troops.  Scan Quality: Good, indexed, ad-free scan. In this issue:Wyrms turn: In the real world, war is something the average person is increasingly detached from these days, with even soldiers able to do a lot of their work through supersonic aircraft or drones that removes a lot of the risk. Of course, the other side is still looking at a decades long cleanup process, as the messes in Iraq and Afganistan have shown all too well over the past decade. Of course, being detached from the reality of war just means we can enjoy it in our escapism all the more, without worrying about triggering someone's PTSD. And really, it is probably better for us to at least explore these ideas rather than pretending the world is a clean happy shiny place all the time.
