Review: Acursian Chapter 11
When it comes to legacy, one often contemplates how the physical embodiment of one’s life is carried on. As your children often take on many of your gifts as well as your sins. This often seen in the public eye, in mmany variations form actors to politicians. As one of Obama’s many tethers to the public, is his embrace of both of his parents , through their complicated relationships to each other.
As our lives go in many directions, and we only hope to be closer to our children, the older they get. WE try to impart our wisdom the best we can and we only hope they do better than us. It is often when we are not with them, that their true natures often emerge, and in that, we often see a reflection of ourselves in them. In Acursian Chapter 11, our protagonist finally sees his father in himself.
We are caught up with Charlie and Corra in Hoover’s America, where Charlie may have found a clue that only his father could have left. We are also taken back to the Isle Of Shadows, where the Queen has been sentenced to stone while the King is at his son’s mercy, only to be given clemency. Charlie ends up discovering a treasure trove left by Jock, which will fill in the gaps to why his family has held onto these secrets. By the issue’s end, Charlie and his friends face off against the local authorities.
Overall, Acursian Chapter 11 is a dazzling chapter that adds a layer of tension to the story. The story by John Barrowman, Carole Barrowman, and Erika Lewis is satisfying. The art by Beni Lobel and Tommy Lee Edwards is unbelievable. Altogether, a chapter that ramps up the action.
