Maika is a floating head, but it's okay because it's just a consciousness thing since they're all inside her and Zinn's minds. Which then leads them to jumping to another world, which is a prison for all the Old Gods and the Defiled, and also where a bunch of Cats are trapped.

I didn't really understand the point of all of that happening, but this definitely isn't a complaint. The artwork was beautiful, as always. Every single page was filled with action. Maika herself is very easy to dislike, but I have loved Ren and Kippa since the beginning and nothing in this installment has changed my mind. 

You get a lot of Zinn's background in this issue, and there is some character growth when it comes to Maika especially. I enjoyed reading this, even with the slight confusion I had at the beginning. It cleared up not too far in, and was forgotten almost as soon as the fighting started. I definitely can't wait for the series to end, though, so I can spend large chunks of my year rereading the series start-to-finish.
