The history of the mysterious world beyond The Hollow is revealed in Mistland #4, and as soon as we start to gain this insight, a shocking and violent betrayal occurs, leading to a pretty amazing final twist to take us into the climactic issue.

This series continues to surprise me; its portrayal of a Nordic-style mythology is fascinating, and the stakes feel tense and genuine. Though we haven’t had enough screentime with several of the individual characters in the exiled group, we now have all we need to know in terms of which character was responsible for the Prince’s death, which kicked off the entire plot of the series.

There’s so much to be said for Alex Shibao’s realistic and detailed artwork; particularly in one scene, featuring something as simple as a heartbreaking facial expression.

The final twist is shocking and very intriguing indeed, but does make me concerned that there might be a little too much going on to wrap up in a single issue. We shall see, as I’ll be reading and reviewing the final issue of Mistland shortly.
