This issue of New Guardians by Tony Bedard and Tyler Kirkham focuses on "Invictus," his story, and his motivations; however, he is only a conduit to build on the development of a different character: Larfleeze. For the most part, readers have only seen a lighter side of Agent Orange; this issue changes that, and although it is unfamiliar territory, this aspect of his personality suits him just fine; of course, assuming Invictus is telling the truth.

The relationships amongst the New Guardians also reach a milestone when Bleeze and Arkillo experience the closest thing to an epiphany, and the team is assigned a new mission that will change the dynamics of the title completely. A very entertaining issue, that has lots of dialog in the right places, while allowing the beautiful art to speak by itself where needed.
