    The sea provides food

    As the world has gone to an environmental disarrey, bringing down the economy, the political and financial system with it, it's natural that the way of thinking would go to a proportional cataclysmic shift and along with it morals, ethics and beliefs would change too. This is the beauty (the gem) of this book, this game that Wood plays with the beliefs of the Kapital's crew: in a world completely new by disaster, what's the limit, where is the line, can old ideas survive or you must adapt your beliefs in order to guarantee your beliefs? Wood's been playing this scenario since first issue, the debate of the use of weapons for instance, and now the fact that they must board a cargo boat for food only kindles this dynamic schism. The military background of the main characters Mag and Cal only makes this discussion and stalemate even more palatable, as Wood balances the present narrative with past scenes from these characters, back when they were soldiers for hire. Garry Brown's art was really surprising here, capturing the moment's emotions perfectly, especially the scenes with action (a shooting) and Dave Stewart's colors make this book even more beautiful. This was a very dynamic issue, good dialogues, sometimes the past scenes could be a little drag, but nothing to harm this issue.
