Quick Sips - Beneath Ceaseless Skies #316

Art by Vladimir Manyukhin

The two stories in the latest Beneath Ceaseless Skies deal with order, with bargains. With rules. And each presents a situation where rules have been made into a kind of weapon used to try and control people. In very different ways. But one story features an agent of the rules, of the status quo, going to “solve” a violation, only to discover that what he’s upholding might be very distant from justice, and the other involves one man standing up against a set of unjust rules and showing people that obedience and death are not the only options. It’s an action-filled issue, with some gripping scenes and satisfying endings, and I’ll get right to the reviews!
