Reaver #3 – 2019 plunges even deeper into the brutal and unforgiving world established by Justin Jordan and Rebekah Isaacs, continuing the tale of a deadly group of criminals forced into an impossible mission. With its unflinching violence, rich character dynamics, and gritty fantasy backdrop, this third instalment of the series builds upon its grimdark tone and expands the intrigue surrounding its doomed anti-heroes.
In this issue, the merciless band of misfits known as “Hell’s Half-Dozen” find themselves navigating more treacherous terrain — not just in the physical sense, but emotionally as well. Tensions are high as trust fractures among the group, each member carrying their own secret motivations and personal demons. Their journey to retrieve a weapon of immense power in the enemy heartland becomes increasingly perilous, and betrayal begins to feel inevitable.
Justin Jordan’s script continues to shine with its sharp dialogue and moral ambiguity. The narrative moves at a steady pace, giving space for character development while never letting the danger recede too far into the background. Readers learn more about the characters’ backstories — particularly the tortured pasts that led them to be condemned to this mission — adding emotional weight to their violent journey.
Rebekah Isaacs’ artwork is a standout once again, capturing both the brutality of the action scenes and the subtle nuances in the characters’ expressions. Her illustrations bring the dark fantasy world to life with vivid detail, while Alex Guimarães’ colouring adds depth and texture — from shadowy forests to blood-slick battlegrounds. The combination of dynamic linework and atmospheric tones gives the issue a visceral energy that matches its unforgiving tone.
Reaver #3 reinforces the series’ identity as a brutal yet emotionally layered fantasy saga. It’s perfect for readers who enjoy morally grey storytelling, rich world-building, and high-stakes character drama. With each issue, the stakes get higher, and the sense of impending doom more palpable — keeping you hooked from cover to cover.
