The Rundown: The Blank continues to target criminals in the city and his next target will leave Tracy to make a dangerous choice.

Pat decides to pay Gangs a visit, but the encounter doesn’t go the way the detective was hoping for. Unfortunately, Fangs isn’t safe when the Blank arrives to attack him and leave him for dead. Tracy pays Breathless Mahoney a visit to get answers when he realizes that the Blank’s victims are connected to the lounge singer and Tess pays a visit to the precinct to see who’s been checking out the files on the Blank’s victims.

When Tracy gets a message from the Blank, he rushes out to find him and discovers that Breathless is in danger with a bomb ready to go off and kill them both unless Tracy makes a decision. At the same time, Fangs makes a desperate call as he clings to life and Tess pays a potentially dangerous visit to Pat at his home.

The Story: Segura and Moreci continue to craft a thrilling and engaging detective noir mystery in this issue. I love the misdirection, twists and turns throughout the story as things take new and intriguing directions. There is great drama on every page and interesting conflicts brimming beneath the surface as everyone has secrets on either side. I look forward to seeing what happens next issue.

The Art: Borges delivers beautifully detailed and visually powerful art throughout the issue. I love the visual feel of this issue and how it captures the tone and mood of the story.
