Freex #18

"Forever in Darkness" marks a pivotal moment in the Freex saga, as the team ventures into the Caves to seek "The Savior" — a quest that quickly fractures under tension and hidden agendas. Written by Gerard Jones and brought to life with sharp, dynamic art by Steve Ellis, this issue deepens the mystery of the Freex’s origins, with Contrary’s true intentions slowly unraveling as she uncovers ancient technology and confronts A.J. in a battle that leaves the group’s crowns disabled. The cover by Scott Kolins and Dennis Jensen captures the moment’s intensity, while the story’s emotional stakes and escalating secrets are driven by Jones’s tight script and Ellis’s expressive visuals.
