As the story continues to unfold, Lemiere steadily reveals plot elements that were planted throughout the series and with this issue, certain secrets finally come to roost.

Dave Stewart does a good job accompanying Yarsky’s line work with his coloring, providing color pallets that give it a different energy than his previous works, and with Nate Piekos on lettering duties, it’s the icing on the cake.
