The cliffhanger in the end, that’s it. That’s the only thing that matters here.
I expect quality (like in mage killer, were well-written, smart), I won’t automatically give this thing 5 stars “because Fenris is in it”. He could’ve been a potato or a whole new character, it wouldn’t matter. Don’t get me started on the cringey dialogues: yes, BioWare is all about snarky comments and banter but these two issues are basically a bad sitcom. With elves.

"DRAGON AGE: BLUE WRAITH #2, out February 19th from Dark Horse Comics, continues the tale full of legend and magic. Grim is the setting for this issue, as characters seek to complete their own quests, be it revenge, capturing a relic, or freeing loved ones.
Fans of the Dragon Age video games likely have made a note of this series and with good reason. This series has brought back the infamous Blue Wraith, along with several other fan favorites from other comic series.
That means there’s a lot of fun – and drama – to be had here. After all, the events that occur in Dragon Age can be grim, as characters fight for their lives and freedom left and right. Dragon Age: Blue Wraith is a series that touches upon concepts such as revenge and desperation, in ways that wholly suit the franchise we love so much."

While the writing throughout Dragon Age: Blue Wraith #2 is rock solid, the highlight for me is the confrontation between Fenris and, Vaea and Francesca. The characters here are at their best. Witty, passionate, and smug, with the smugness coming mostly from Fenris. Their interactions in this first meeting were near perfection While this is going on, the rest of the characters continue their pursuit of the sarcophagus. This group is, for the most part, a little less fleshed out in this issue. While I wouldn’t call this group neglected, they just didn’t get the same amount of page time as the other.
Furukawa’ s art also continues to impress in Dragon Age: Blue Wraith #2. He captures the combat scenes excellently. The panels during these moments are filled with high energy views that place the reader right in the thick of the action. This couples nicely with the slight exaggeration he gives some of the characters during high emotion moments. He never goes so far as to make the presentation feel overly cartoony but adds just a little something extra to keep the emotions equal to the combat in the way it catches the eye
With Dragon Age: Blue Wraith #2, the team is really putting their stamp on this corner of the world. With both ends of the story settling on satisfying cliffhanger moments, the stage is set for an explosive final act. I hope the creative team can keep this energy going so the can finish this story with the bang it feels like it deserves.

I will never forgive Bioware for breaking my heart again with the exact same ploy they used before. The canon follows the path of a friendly Hawke, so they've helped Fenris against Danarius, they've taught him how to read, they were supportive and kind. Fenris going "friends are cancelled" and believing Hawke used him for his powers... Wow! Is this a competition with Anders? He's rejected his friendship with the Warden, so you had to go further Fenris? It's so painful
