Ryder senses an intruder has stolen something from him, and he wants it back.

Things take an interesting turn as the line between reality and fiction continue to blur in The Amory Wars: Good Apollo I’m Burning Star IV #4. Written by Chondra Echert and Claudio Sanchez, Ryder is starting to feel a sense of paranoia as his own imagination comes to life. He tries to put his relationship with Erica to an end, if only for its own selfish purposes. Meanwhile, Claudio’s powers seem to become slightly less stable as they formulate an attack on a planet that is half fairy tale, half reality.

The art style by Rags Morales contrasts well as fiction and reality continue to merge some. That manages to enhance the narrative of the unstable nature of Ryder’s mind. Morales gives both the fictional and non-fictional sides of the story a strange sense of balance, especially as the sides switch back and forth as the story progresses.
