Credits Grade: 6 House Dexter and House Sinister are at odds with one another, and Pyrem brings Ingra into House Dexter. Not only does them to accept her prescence, but to accept that he and Ingra are in love! Ingra's throne at House Sinister was taken from her, and now there is talk of unity ... though from the reactions Pyrem receives, that may still be a long time in coming.The artwork is quite lovely with some very nice color schemes. I'm not sure what the purpose is of one character's speech being in several different fonts within one word balloon, but it does give a little variety and makes her unique. Jumping in at issue 26, there are a few things I didn't grasp, but overall, the storyline was organized enough to let me follow along and pick up on the general gist of the story. However, I was a little disappointed in the lack of action in this issue. With the majority of the characters being gods, I expected much more than I got. Perhaps other issues have more, or perhaps I'm just spoiled by all the "real world" mythology I read; if the former is the case, then I might check out some more of The First, otherwise I may pick up something else first.
