Are we near the end of the prequel? Not in terms of plot, but this manga's run. I was confused as to why it looks like it's about to end while none of big bad has been killed yet. And then I remember Avan defeated Hadlar twice, once by the frozen spell, once where he meets Hyunkel and Batos.
Baduck looks so badass! Too bad all his muscles went away with age. Would be nice to see more of him in the story rather than just a cameo.
Much appreciation for the bonus comparison pages!
