The art and story are fantastic however the plot is a little slow. Sometimes we get over 10 panels on a single page which is very rare these days. A great first issue for a low price.

However the problem with the series is that you get clues after someone explains what is happening. This is the last time I would be reviewing the series.

In the present Reginald interrogates Ike and asks him where the students from Woodrun are. Reginald threatens to kill Jade unless he kills his father. As soon as Ike sees his father he shoots Reginald and the guards while pointing a gun at Jade demanding an explanation from his father.

The first season of Morning Glories ends with issue #25. The 25th issue had less answers than the past 24. Some mysteries should end while others continue to evolve the story. I really wish I had not invested in the story in the first place. It seems all the story does it prolong the series further without adequate explanation of what has happened in the past. Nick Spencer has a ridiculous story that is so convoluted that the first 25 issues of the story is a mix mass of crap.
