Interesting to read. But they haven't told us anything we already didn't knew so far. But I'm hoping to see how the talk between JarvanIV and Lux goes. Maybe he discovers what she is, and why her family was so interested in marrying her to protect her, and talks to her about Shyvana .

Edit: That if the time in the story when he meets her is before the mage rebellion, come to think of it.

OH MY GOD. SYLAS X LUX NEEDS TO SINK REALLY REALLY SOON. I'm more into Lux x Ezreal sooooo sorry lol

PS: I like these comics because unlike the bio's and the color stories, it really brings color to the stories like what the comics are doing, their facial expressions, thoughts and even lore tidbits that we don't know before like Lux's marriage being engage to Jarvan IV and sylas and lux talking about galio. Its a nice touch.

I found it interesting to read.

My one complaint is how Lux simply being a bit to naive and that last shot of her blushing.

Like seriously girl Lux what do you see in this Sylas . Like seriously

So how long is this series suppose to go for? Hopefully not 4 like the Ashe comic.

Obviously next issue is when Lux gets into trouble, Sylas is sent to be excuted & BOOM Sylas escapes & starts a civil war. I want to see what happens after. You know, the content that hasn't been covered in a bio. It would be a little irking if the series stop after getting to the good shit.

Yes, the expanded on the story & added things that weren't mention in a bio, like the whole Lux marriage thread. But I already knew quite a number things from these last 2 issues & I already know some of the things that are gonna happen next issue.

I wanna see more than just the beginning of the Mage revolution.

They may be retelling Sylas’s story, but I feel like his needed some visual context.

We’re supposed to see him as the villain, and hate him for playing Lux, but we get to see why he’s one, and I personally can’t fault his actions (yet).

I like it but it's just staying in one place T_T are we seriously going to the progression they promised only in the zed/jhin comic.

So, yeah the issue was fine I guess. Fine, not good, not amazing, fine.

The truth is that the Lux Comic doesn't can get my attention like the Ashe comic did. First, both issues mostly retold us things which lore nerds already know. Consider the comics are suppose to reach a wider audience, especially people who don't even play this game, it is just fair. However, for people who know the lore really well it is just feels boring to reread things we already know. Expect that Garen knows his sister is problematic and the J4 needs to marry someone story hook, the comic hasn't much depth yet. I hope the next issue will hit the present and without actually content we do not know yet. Maybe.

Second, the choice of characters. Yes, I know why the picked Lux and I agree with the choice but quite frankly it still feels bad to get a 5 issue comic about a champion which already has so much lore content. For me the comic is just filler until we get the Zed Comic for which I have high hopes. Also the Demacia Novella for which I also have high hopes (for which we sadly do not know any information yet).

Third, I'm not super happy how naive Lux is in the comic. Yes, I know she was naive and similar but somehow I wished she would have more... control over the situation by herself. Instead of desperation I would have wished curiosity being her reason to meet Sylas. It would have given her so much more agenda than "stupid naive girl falls the bad guy". Maybe it is just me but it kinda irks me.

Fourth, as someone who buys the digital version on Marvel it still feels bad to pay 5 USD and get nothing in return. I really love the lore and I'm glad to support the narrative team directly but it still feels bad to buy something if you can read it complete for free few hours later. Especially since I usually can read the comic during the noon because of the work. I really loved the Special Edition of the Ashe comic and the glossary.

Fifth, I really dislike Lux/Sylas as ship and while the comic is fine, it doesn't help that some Rioter on my Twitter timeline post BDSM related Lux/Sylas jokes. I understand why they do it but honest, consider how Sylas ticks the ships REALLY rubs me the wrong way.

Also I really hope the woman J4 hinted was Shyvana. It is a good ship and makes also a lot of sense, so don't kill it. (Whom I'm kidding, Scathelocke hates love, he will sink it so hard).

The "You don't say no to Tianna Crownguard" quote caught my interesting. Maybe I just read too much into it but I would like to thing that she is also kinda political player. I actually would enjoy a little bit more political agenda in the Demacia like Noxus have.

Well, lets hope the next issue is more to my liking.
