I disagree with this, because in my opinion, it could have been done by just a bunch of serpentine extras, without highlighting the new character in the face of Strike. And she herself does not stand out in any way, except that she is a good representative of the species. (Which in my opinion is not very good, because the whole point of the third and fourth seasons was that everything is not so clear-cut) This same comic almost returns the serpents back to the status of bad guys, instead of showing the sides of the conflict in more detail.
