The third volume of Liberator: The People’s Guard throws us straight into a harsh world where ruthless politics, dangerous science, and volatile new powers keep clashing. Early scenes in Cherbosk show terrified workers drowning under impossible state demands, then the chaos explodes when a catastrophic chemical spill sets off a chain of events that births new metamorphic humans. Soon after, a violent shapeshifter named Mistika tears through banks and museums while the Liberator scrambles to understand her powers and the government’s role in creating beings like her. The story mixes political fear, personal struggle, and huge action in a country desperate to control forces it barely understands.

As I read through these chapters, I felt pulled in by the sense of pressure everyone seems to live under. The writing made me feel that tight knot of stress in my stomach, the one you get when you know something terrible is coming, and there is nothing you can do but watch it arrive. Oksana’s frantic attempts to please her superiors hit me hard. She rushes, she panics, she breaks things, and she pays the price. Those scenes made me feel frustrated and sad because you can see her fear coming off the page. Then you have Mistika, who storms into a bank like a comic book villain brought to life. Her scenes are intense and sometimes brutal, and I was shocked at how casual she is about killing. The casualness made her feel more real and more frightening.

The political tension is strong, and I kept feeling uneasy about how often the government hides the truth. The conversations about the super soldier serum made me pause, especially when Tovarich realizes he might not be the only one or even the first one. That whole debate around a genetic arms race made the story feel bigger than a simple superhero fight. It gave me this weird mix of worry and curiosity. I liked that the book did not give easy answers. Instead, it let the fear simmer while the characters tried to keep moving forward.

This volume would be perfect for readers who enjoy superhero stories that lean darker and more political. If you like action mixed with fear, moral tension, and characters who feel trapped by forces bigger than they are, this is a strong fit. I would recommend it to fans of gritty comic book worlds and anyone who likes stories about power that comes with a cost.
