The issue begins with a full page battle image of Telos and gang fighting the monstrous and terrifying Validus. This battle is not easily fought as Telos is forced to use incredible power to remove the threat from his companions. Telos and gang find their way into the “gateway” and learn startling things about Computo’s power in Colu and what he has been up to. Brainiac and Computo also share a brief exchange and we are reminded that each party involved is just a pawn in the game Brainiac is playing. Nothing is ever as it seems and another surprising monster awaits Telos as the issue ends.

I’m really enjoying this series but I’m starting to wonder why Telos isn’t using the power he has to its full capacity. It would end conflicts much quicker. It raises a question because in this issue we see increased use of his power drains his energy levels. My question is, does full use of his power now drain the energy/life from him making him weak? If so, that makes his character more believable since a matter changing, all powerful,  being can’t just go around using full power all the time.

The art work continues to be a treat as we continue to get beautiful and vibrant colors mixed with dark and brooding scenery. It’s visually appealing and the characters continue to balance each other out. We have dedicated and powerful Telos matched with a wide array of characters who are thought provoking, humorous and strategic. I continue to look forward to future issues.

Telos lands on planet Colu and immediately finds his way into the planetary jails where he meets up with his contact and some unlikely characters who aid him in his mission. The group battles their way to the planetary core and along the way Telos provides back story on his character, his family and his heritage until they meet a terrifying monster.

I found the art work most appealing in this issue again. The artists had to create multiple scenes for this story. If they were telling the history of Telos we had a primitive depiction and then flash forward to a futuristic prison filled with robots, monsters and aliens. Job well done. 

The dialogue was entertaining and engaging and we’re starting to get a better idea of who Telos truly is and how/why he operates and dialogues the way he does. The reveal of who his contact is was a fun surprise as well. Second to the artwork I enjoyed learning about the power of Telos before he became a being of immense power and intellect courtesy of Brainiac. He’s developing into a truly fascinating character.
