But now she must learn to control the magic, before it bleeds her dry. Lila Bard, once a commonplace-but never common-thief, has survived and flourished through a series of magical trials. Kell-once assumed to be the last surviving Antari-begins to waver under the pressure of competing loyalties. Once brimming with the red vivacity of magic, darkness casts a shadow over the Maresh Empire, leaving a space for another London to rise. The precarious equilibrium among the four Londons has reached its breaking point. Black London has risen again - and so to keep magic's balance, another London must fall. But another London is coming back to life, a shadow that was gone in the night reappears in the morning. As Red London prepares for the Element Games - an extravagant international competition of magic - a certain pirate ship draws closer. Restless, and having given up smuggling, he is visited by dreams of ominous magical events, waking only to think of Lila. But once upon a time, there was Black London. Then, White London, ruled by whoever has murdered their way to the throne. There is Red London, where life and magic are revered. There is Grey London, dirty and crowded and without magic, home to the mad king George III. E.Most people only know one London but what if there were several? Kell is one of the last Travelers magicians with a rare ability to travel between parallel Londons. The ending is clearly leaving space open for future comic runs, tying up this arc but leaving space for more stories with the final panel introducing a glimpse of a shadow-y figure.
I don’t know if it’s a common art style or not for comics, but it seemed a little odd to me to be so obscuring when the visuals are a key part of the story telling in this medium. It could make it quite tricky to work out who was who (or what exactly was going on) when everything was vague outlines. Having just re-read the previous two and then this one, I noticed how dark the colour palate was at times. it was a nice way to round the series off, with a real cost for Maxim, rather than just another blood bath – the villain does really push him and takes the “fullness” of the victory away. The final instalment (Goodreads here) brings back a villain from the previous comic, giving it the most continuity of the lot – and adds more emotional weight to the showdown than the other two got.
