Evil is on Earth, and he has chosen human vessels as hosts for his power, but, no matter where Evil rises, though, heroes are preparing to defeat him. In this volume, Yuko fights Evil in Japan, Amir fights Evil in Egypt, and Abi fights Evil in Germany. Wish these new heroes luck!

In typical good versus evil fashion, these three new heroes have a lot to learn before they can win, and their stories were fun to read though not unique. Transitions were consistently choppy, and I felt like I was being pushed from introduction to climax without enough building action. The story, as it was told, didn’t give me enough reason to invest myself into the characters, but I would have enjoyed a stronger connection with them. The mature content rating is for brief nudity, and the violence rating is for battle sequences.
