This issue's theme is ongoing adventures. Once we finish a story, our characters lives continue. Four stories bring back old friends while two are new ones you'll see again. In the romantic "How Lovely Are Thy Branches" (Garrett W. Vance) we find a Christmas tree on The Wonderland Isles, while ripples from prom lead to a new knife business in "Stilettos, Part 2" (Bethanne Kim). "A Week Together" (Bjorn Hasseler) continues the romantic theme with Reed and Kathy Sue Burroughs enjoying time together at home while Reed is between wars. Parenting can lead unexpected places. "Rites of Passage" (Edith Wild) about Amalia von Herbert and Maggie Vogel picks up from the cliffhanger in Issue 4. Come see what happens next! The exact opposite of what we would expect, "Emancipation and Education" is Terry Howard's story about a boy who wants to stay in school against his father's wishes. "The Diablo Is In The Details," Aaron Jamieson Greso's first 1632 story. It's about a Portuguese merchant and a knight who try to buy compasses and sell a donkey. Both tasks end up being harder than anticipated.
