Vikram is restored by Tipu Sultan and peace, for a time, is restored to Mysore.Įlsewhere, Bishan and Kori seek their vengeance for Grano’s cruel act and we see the truth of Bishan, the monster he has been and the monster he is forced to become. The Anglo-Mysore war ends in a stalemate that sees the British suing for peace. This final chapter does an impressive job of drawing all the plot lines together and to a close. I have often said that this is a series that could easily have been an epic period novel, and it’s a real testament to the skill with which writer Ram V has woven this tale that he can deliver this epic scope in what is, comparatively, very few pages. As the culmination of a series that I have found beautiful and horrific and heart-warming and heart-breaking, this final issue continues to deliver all these things in a final issue that has been well worth the wait. This has to be my most eagerly awaited finale of the year, and is way up at the top of my list of the Best Comics of 2019. After the tragic and devastating events of the last issue, Bishan and Kori leave Calicut and journey to London to confront Count Grano and exact their vengeance but at what cost? ![]()
