This issue expands the worlds into which the Traveler interacts. There are many new characters and enemies to defeat, but the basic confusion continues to plague this comic. It feel like Mark Waid is trying to reinvent The Traveler in each issue, introducing a new love interest and giving us a brief glimpse of the unknown puppet master behind The Travelers brief confrontations.
There is a lot of work required to make this comic coherent enough to gain new adherents. Patience is required, not a trait to be found in the comics reading public.
