If nothing else, this issue was the most straight forward this book has
been in its year or so of existence. There was a panel in the first
half that actually laid out everything that was happening and how it
all related to everything else. It still sounded insanely absurd, but
it at least made a sort of twisted logic, which is more than can be
said of anything that happened between issues 7 and 12. The art is as
solid as it’s ever been, as Lapham can lay out a damn fine page. I
would still prefer to see him doing some more Stray bullets, but
considering I had no faith in this book ending as anything other than
crap, and now am kind interested to see where it goes, this issue was a
triumph.
