Skorge is quite literally kicked out as he attempts to enter, but just so happens to run (or fall) directly in the path of the man he is looking for. Believing that this will kick things into gear if losing the battle does not, Skorge returns to the temple he was excommunicated from to inform the Ketor’s of this false vision.

By doing so, the Horde will be forced to take the surface.Īs Raam deals with the particulars, Skorge is sent to convince The Temple of the Trinity of a vision he did not have that The Hollow would fall at the urging of Raam. Upon Karn expressing his worries of what he suspects is about to be a full scale invasion through the Outer Hollow, Raam informs him of a plan to assist in their battle. While sending Skorge to deal with the Temple of the Trinity, Raam arrives at The Expansion Hollow to speak with Vold Karn. Since things aren’t progressing at a fast enough rate for Raam, he instead starts to take matters into his own hands.

Some of the High Council seem to be coming around to at least acknowledging Raam’s point, while others still prefer to exist in denial of the situation. We know Raam and Skorge’s goals as a team, but the hows of accomplishing them are still up in the air. Since issue two is where the story is building, there’s not a lot of new events that end up occurring here. Turns out, the Corpser was sent by Sraak and the High Council in order to either kill Raam or convince him to return to his duties as Vold leader.

We join our dynamic duo right as a Corpser attacks their unit. Issue two tackles the fallout Raam and Skorge experience at the hands of Sraak and the High Council. Naturally, many of his peers and superiors are skeptical, while others are downright refusing to acknowledge the possibility that they might lose this war. Raam believes that fighting such an easy war will boost morale, and give them additional fighting power against the lambent in the long run. Joined by Skorge (who also happens to be the main bad guy in Gears of War 2 ) Raam is trying to convince the Locust Queen to redirect the onslaught of their war to the surface, since the one against the lambent isn’t working so well. For those that don’t know, or missed my last review, Gears of War: Rise of Raam follows the story of Raam, the main antagonist and leader of the Locust in the first Gears of War game. The story continues in issue two of the Rise of Raam series from IDW.
