Soulfire (Vol. 4) #5 (Aspen Comics, 2013)

The battle for the soul of magic reaches a shattering crossroads.

The "Search for the Light" story arc nears its climax as Malikai and his allies are pushed to their absolute limits. Grace, once the beacon of hope and mentor to the Samusara, remains lost within the void of her own corrupted spirit. As "Dark Grace" unleashes a wave of destruction, Malikai must confront a harrowing reality: to save the world, he may have to destroy the person who taught him everything about the magic he now wields.

J.T. Krul continues to masterfully weave a tale of emotional stakes and high-concept fantasy, while Giuseppe Cafaro’s art vividly depicts the clashing forces of primordial magic and the cold, mechanical reality of the future.

Issue Highlights:

• The Samusara’s Burden: Malikai finds a new level of power, but it comes with a physical and mental cost that threatens to break him.

• Grace’s Darkness: A deeper look into the tragedy of Grace’s transformation and the ancient forces that are feeding on her despair.

• Technological Intervention: The corporate forces tracking the magical anomalies move in for the kill, seeing the chaos as the perfect opportunity to eliminate the "threat" of magic forever.
