The Rundown: Loo continues to get closer to the truth as things at the hospital continue to fall apart.
Loo continues to be suspended, but Dr. Zerc brings her into a patient’s room to try to see if her healing powers can save him. Unfortunately, they don’t work and Grace interrupts. At the same time, a strange ghost group therapy session wraps up with an orderly who needs to make a confession.
Zerc is losing his mind and finds himself being contacted by a strange patron while Loo attempts to speak to the sedated superhero. When her fellow orderlies realize what’s happening, they rush to stop it as Zerc decides to unlock Loo’s memories after infecting the hospital.
The Story: Way and Simon continue to create an interesting and engaging story in this series and this issue answers a lot of questions about Loo’s past while also bringing to life the conspiracy to keep her from remembering it. I continue to be impressed with this story and the world within it. This story has some great characters throughout and a strange energy that keeps me coming back for more.
The Art: Weston delivers some beautifully detailed art throughout the issue. I love the visual style and how the characters and situations are so visually unique.
