The Rundown: Hannah makes a dark discovery, reveals a darker secret and discovers another version of herself.
After finally getting the upper hand in the battle against her other self, Hannah discovers that there is a third Hannah who seems more ruthless than the other. Making a deal with her double, the remaining team makes their way to her office as Ben does something that could secure their jump off this world.
As the seemingly more evil Hannah and her team get closer and kill everyone in sight, Hannah discovers that there is someone else in the facility with them. Someone who Hannah has been avoiding thinking about this entire time.
The Story: Birks hits the reader with an emotional gut punch in this issue while also ramping up both the tension and suspense. The story continues to take some creative and inventive twists and turns while also adding great moments of humor and action throughout the issue. I love the rising action within the story and how it culminates into a reveal I wasn’t expecting while also setting up a cliffhanger that has me excited to come back and discover.
The Art: Roberts delivers visually on all the action and suspense in the issue. The art is lively and filled with gorgeous details.
