"DRAGON AGE: BLUE WRAITH #3 out this Wednesday from Dark Horse concludes this dramatic miniseries. But as with any series set in this world we’ve come to love, it never truly feels like an end. Only a pause.

Dragon Age: Blue Wraith may have been a short series, but it certainly was an entertaining one. Focusing on characters from both the games and other graphic novels, this series called upon fans to further invest in the world.

You may have fallen in love with Fenris in the games, but now’s your chance to learn more about him. Both his past and his future are hinted at within these pages. It may not be quite the same, but at least it makes the wait between games more bearable."

It’s always hard to see a series come to a conclusion, even when you know it’s coming. Yet Dragon Age: Blue Wraith #3 didn’t truly feel like an ending. Instead, it felt like a natural progression to the story.

Dragon Age: Blue Wraith #3 was a beautiful issue to behold. There were so many elements that were pleasing to the eyes in this issue, from the characters themselves to the backgrounds and the magic being flung all over the place. It was a dramatic and entertaining conclusion to this miniseries. It hit all of the right tones, wrapping up the plot while leaving it open-ended enough for fans to have hope for more. That is well suited for this world, and the characters that have been developed over several series now.

Again, none of you should be allowed near horses. If you guys are in my party in DA4, y'all are WALKING.

I enjoyed this new volume, although I feel the story itself will have a lot more impact once all the comics for this team have been published and we can read the whole thing in one- sitting. But I really like that they focus on the characters in each issue and tell the broader story throughout the series.

I'm especially interested in Francesca, she might be the Inquisition's chance to get a mage almost as powerful as Fen'Harel. And she's already worked a bit on her cynicism and bigotry through Vaea. She's got a kind soul. Can't wait to help her grow out of her past traumas and turn into the badass motherfucker who will make Solas cry.

Speaking of the wolf, I wonder how the elves liberated by Fenris and his pal will see Fen'Harel's plan. And how the latter will react to new Fenris being made. I really, really hope he's appalled and wants nothing to do with them, otherwise Thedas is fucked...

Seriously, everything descended into hell so quickly?! This trilogy happens in between 9:44 et 9:45, meaning in less than a year after the Exalted Council everything went wrong... Solas is building his army no problem, the Qunari have invaded Tevinter no problem, they've probably reinforced their presence in Rivain and Seheron must have fallen this time, the Venatori are making a comeback with an even more sadistic expetiment, Ferelden is still rebuild from both the Blight and Corypheus, there's red lyrium everywhere and Titans about to wake up... And don't get me started on the Anderfels! Everything is taking a turn for the grim. I hope at least our little team here is able to destroy the sarcophagus
