Rik Hoskin does a really good job with this prequel story. I really enjoyed how he set the scene for the arrival of Ba’alzaman by having Bors narrate what was happening as the events unfolded. I really enjoyed the dialogue exchanges between Bors and Ba’alzaman as it becomes apparent that Bors is being asked to track Perrin Aybara, Matrim Cauthon, and Rand al’Thor. I also enjoyed how Ba’alzaman described the three young men as a Blacksmith, a Swordsman, and a Trickster. Overall. I quite enjoyed this first issue, but am hoping for more from the series. Much like the TV series of the Wheel of Time, the narrative can be a tad slow as various plots get set up.
