Firstly, thanks for featuring my comment. I think this has been my favourite volume of AC comics that we've looked at yet. I really loved the 30s noir/pulp aesthetic it had going on, complete with shadowy vigilante, and femme fatale. The concept of the Black Cross is just totally badass. I liked that the story wasn't about him, but he was just kind of this mysterious figure working in the background. It makes total sense that they'd need a watch dog given Templar's perchant for corruption. I liked how they introduced the modern day, because it shocked us with Black Cross' death, but then revealed he didn't die, and left his fate as a mystery, which befits his character. Lastly, I love that Berg is coming into his own as a character. It just seemed like he was creepy villain man in Rogue, and Syndicate.

I bet they're going to use the Bolden lineage as an excuse for animus shenanigans in asscreed rogue 2/asscreed black cross or something. The black cross would make a fun player character in a game at least. I agree with Otso Berg being more interesting in the modern day though.

I always purchase my Assassins Creed books and comics from Google Play. Now I can not find anymore Volumes for the comics on the store. Is anyone else having this problem or know their release schedule? Enjoy your channel btw

What exactly do the assassins do to further there goals when not fighting Templars? Because it seems to me that the Templars do alot when not fighting assassins to build there new world. They have conspiracies that require long, precise work from the shadows and tedious manipulation of society. The assassins seem like only one small flee in the way of the Templars mission. With the assassins, outside of fighting Templars, do very little for the construction of freedom. It seems without Templars to fight, Assassins have no purpose. This issue demonstrates the obstacles that the Templars face In the way of completing there goals, without the interference of pesky Assassins.
