The plot thickens! So many failed attempts, but then at the end, there's a small glimmer of hope! On a side note, the art seemed a bit rushed on this issue.

The Little Red Fish series continues and in this part we finally get to see the fish stand up to themselves. Our little red fish has been taught about the power of the orb, but it does not know how to use it until it has no other choice - the power ignites in it and the little red fish can suddenly turn into an owl in order to fight the heron. This is basically all there's to this part, so it feels distant as opposed to the former parts. This could probably work if you'd read the comic in volumes instead of issues. I kind of missed the philosophical feeling to the story and the hollow sadness that were now absent because of the action. It's not necessarily a bad thing, but it makes this a separate entity instead of a continuation. Also, the beginning is a bit abrupt and it took time to get into the story, which proves that the flow isn't as good and there's a gap between the third and fourth part. I hope the next issue will make up for it.

The art felt more crude too. Instead of different angles we mostly have talking (fish) heads, which isn't all that interesting as there could be other ways to portray the same things aside this. Some of the panels are stuffed and some of them are extremely beautiful, which break the harmony. I wish we could've seen into the heron's head too as we did before, now all of them are portrayed stiff and stable, and there's no motion in the comic, really. I'm not saying the comic isn't good, but mostly there's quality problems concerning this issue - on the long run it may not be that bad.

This book is as good as anything published by Marvel or DC Comics today. It has good characters, plenty of action and an easy to follow story. It's a good book for someone who wants a simple yet fun read,
