With one more issue left, the story kicks up a notch, both on the side of the Eldritch and the mixed-race resistance opposing them. While Bishop Vittoro isn’t happy about the alliance with the ‘Unholy’ i.e. the Half-breeds, rebel Eldritch, Dragons and Gremlins, even he realizes (after a first hand experience) that standing alone, the humans are in no form to stem and return the enemy’s assault.

As for Hope (Medieval Lady Death), with her half-sister Caprice alongside her, she sets off to get help. As for Caprice, having freed her mother, Obsidia, from under the spell of Tavarus, she has since then left the royal palace and is now with her half-human sister, Hope. Guided by the last words of their common paternal grandmother, (the Seer), the two sisters head towards the three moons. Prophesized to get aid ‘under the shadow of the third moon’, they run into and are captured by, well, that is one revelation/identity I will leave unspoiled.

The artwork of this series has been consistent and even though for an old Lady Death fan this style takes some time getting used to, artist Di Amorin and colorist Andrew Dalhouse do a more than adequate job. However, even though the coloring is full and deep, it does tend to be a bit on the darker side (especially with the backgrounds). That and the ‘special effects’ could use a bit more flair.

Conclusion: A sequel of sorts to 2003’s ‘Lady Death: A Medieval Tale’ (under the CrossGen banner), ‘War of the Winds’ along with being a well written follow-up, is turning out to be a rather good story on its own.

RATING: 8/10
