Raise Hell! Issue #5 Review

This issue is all about drama!

Issue #4 of Raise Hell! by Jordan Alsaqa ended with best friends Miri and Reeves having a big fight because Reeves made a joke about Miri being turned down by her crush, Renlo. Already devastated and heartbroken, Miri lashes out at Reeves, and both of them say mean things to each other. Now, they aren’t speaking, and Issue #5 focuses on the aftermath of their awful fight.

While Reeves is dragged to the mall for some shopping with her mom, Victor tries to convince Miri to make amends with their friend while the two go out hunting for a tape with a banned episode of a popular mecha anime. There’s just a little bit of magic, mischief, and danger in this issue. Surprisingly, Allistair, the impish little red demon bound to the three friends, doesn’t do much in this issue. However, he does mention how the friction between the friends is negatively affecting his existence. So, the sooner everybody patches things up, the better it will be for Allistair.

Even though I really enjoyed the first three issues of Raise Hell! a lot, I feel like it’s meandering now and isn’t as fun anymore. At least the last issue featured some comedic moments, but this fifth edition was pretty flat and uninteresting. Although things do end with a wicked twist—one of the friends goes over to the dark side and is ready to raise some hell.

Rating: 2.5 out of 5. Raise Hell! is also on Kindle Unlimited.
