The Rundown: Sonny attempts to rescue a woman from the clutches of Mayor Oak.
The story begins in French Polynesia where someone dangerous verifies the picture of a young woman. Then, in the United States, a hired agent attempts to cause that woman harm. However, Sonny intervenes, and finds himself in a deadly conflict. Afterwards, he rescues Neva. On their way to safety, she reveals something surprising. Finally, Sonny makes a dangerous choice.
The Story: Remender crafts an interesting and engaging third entry to this limited series. Sonny’s willingness to put himself in danger at the expense of others is admirable. Especially as he appears to have no formal training and is a at a distinct disadvantage when it comes to his enemies. However, he has found himself in enough deadly situations, that I can’t help but wonder about his true motivations. Overall, I am enjoying this plotline and am excited to find out what happens next.
The Art: As a warning to readers, this issue contains explicit content and nudity. The illustration in this edition uses its attention to character expression and form to convey a variety of emotions including fear and disgust. As this chapter is light on wording, much of the story is told through the art. And I feel that these panels not only perfectly display the tone of this story but does an excellent job visually conveying the atrocities committed by the Mayor Oak, and its effects on the victims.
