The Rundown: Danny says a final goodbye before his life takes a dangerous turn.
Young Danny begins to full embrace his power and the power of his dreams before seeing his mother for the last time. After she tells him that she believes him, she wants to know about everything that he sees. When she finally succumbs to her illness, Danny is left alone and decides to leave.
After finding a new home in the country and away from the activity of his imagination and what it manifests, Danny discovers a strange house nearby. A house that is harboring a dark entity who wants to give Danny something that will change him forever.
The Story: Kudranski takes the story to a darker place in this issue. The plot continues the great slow burn that the series established and closes out Danny’s story as a child in a great way. I love the transition to Danny as an adult and the way the story takes an ominous turn towards the end. It feels like something big is coming for Danny and his journey continues to be a compelling one that grabs your attention and doesn’t let go.
The Art: Kudranski delivers some beautifully detailed and emotionally evocative art on every page of this issue. The visuals add another emotional layer to the story that serves it brilliantly.
