The Shadow Falls Part 3 of 5

This issue keeps things tense and focused, with clear action and a steady sense of pressure throughout. The flying scenes are exciting without being hard to follow, and the story does a good job showing how stressful life is for these pilots. Instead of feeling heroic, everything feels risky and uncertain, which makes the world more believable. It works well as a build-up chapter that strengthens the tone of the series without giving too much away.
