Seven to Eternity #3 continues the story of the Osidis family and their legacy. In the last issue, just as Adam was about to hear the God of Whispers offer, a group of wild characters called the Mosak entered to bring the fight to the God of Whispers and his Piper. This issue gives us some great action, with some fantastic fight scenes with swords, magic, and more. This book truly feels like a great fantasy tale, and I always feel like the world is going to open up more and more with each issue. Thankfully, this issue doesn’t disappoint in that area. Rick Remender loves to keep his readers on their toes and has shown before that he will kill main characters, as he often does. That gave me a sense of anxiety while I was reading this book, but that isn’t necessarily a bad thing. I enjoyed flipping each page and wondering what awaits me. That’s what you get in a Remender tale.

We get an important flashback to Adam’s youth and a sad look at his brother Peter, who was very ill. We learn more about Zeb as a father, and while the story told us so far that he was stubborn and wouldn’t budge on much, we do see some vulnerability here when he admits he will do anything to save his son. Things come full circle as we learn that the same group who appeared to fight the God of Whispers are the same people who turned Adam and his family away, leading to a heartbreaking scene in his past. When we flashback to the present, you see why Adam is reluctant to work with the very people who didn’t help him when his family needed it most. But times are tough, and he soon learns he will need all the help he can get.

Jerome Opeña on art is near flawless again as he draws the limb flying, dinosaur stomping, flute playing action scenes. This series is going to be awesome to have in trade, just to be able to spend more time with Opena’s art alone and see how everything comes together in a bigger volume. I love all of the crazy character designs from the dinosaur with a portal in his mouth named Drawbridge, to Healer Monkey, and the amazing looking Piper conjuring his demons. This is some of the best art Opena has ever done, and I am glad that issue three continues that trend. Matt Hollingsworth does a great job on color and gives the world and most of the characters a dirty and depressed look, which fits the tone of the story perfectly.

Seven to Eternity is only three issues in, and I feel like while some big things have happened, the best is yet to come. I truly have no idea where this story is going, and I love that. Remender once again keeps the reader guessing and on edge with this book, and like his other comics, you cannot wait to see where it goes next.
