Captain Britain sets out to find her sword from the prophecy. Though not everyone wants her to be successful.

This issue really boils down to a squabble between siblings, with an outsider pulling at the strings. While at first I was not a fan. It was such a convoluted story with the squabble gaining so much focus it almost pulled me out of the story. I found myself straining to find the point of this story plot. By the end of this chapter though, all had changed. It really had redeemed itself and I found myself enjoying Captain Britain a lot more.

We really got to see more into what Saturnyne has planned. There might be more surprises later as from what we saw in this chapter, her intentions are not truly honest. 

I do have issue with something that happened in this chapter. If what we saw actually happened then it contradicts the permanent death revelation that came out in early chapters. We lost someone, or so they elude too. But if you look at future covers of the series said character is on the cover alive and well. Will they be a warped version of themself, or did they not actually die? We will have to wait to find out.

Overall this chapter started out bumpy but really stuck the landing. It did get me excited to read this series after the event to find out where they take this story. That being said this chapter falls short when compared to others that have been such standouts in this event.
