Issue Description

Kirby thinks the horned Man-Mountain of Dzoxk is the bull mentioned in his current labor, and insists he fight it alone, but Kevin won't accept that. The golem, which is filled with Kevin's excess power, is tough to beat, and all the more so because Kevin and Kirby are arguing while they're fighting. The golem takes advantage of the chaos of the situation and stabs Kirby, mortally wounding him. Meanwhile, the Sprigginflints also join the battle, but are quickly defeated. Wally climbs the cliff and takes on Emil Grackleflint. Kevin destroys the Man-Mountain, and uses the Bat to resurrect Kirby, but the effort destroys the Bat.

Volume Description

The Hero Defined is the second series in the planned Mage trilogy.  It comes after The Hero Discovered and before The Hero Denied.  It was published many years after the first series.  The third series has not yet been published, many years after the second series.  The second series had more of a mixed critical reception than the first series, but still had an enthusiastic following.
 
In it, Kevin Matchstick has become a more experienced and successful warrior, but to the detriment of his character.  He must find his second mage in order to learn how to move on to a better path--although he doesn't see it like that.
