The Rundown: Kevin tries to prove his sister is possessed while the President tries to hold onto her position and family.
The President continues to worry about her family and the country as a possible foreign conspiracy could be affecting her. At the same time, her son Kevin is convinced his sister is being possessed and will do anything to try to prove it to the priest at his school. Unfortunately, no one believes him except his friend and his recent actions make him a pariah with the other kids.
President Doyle brings in a doctor to check on her daughter as Kevin gathers evidence. After going to visit his sister, Kevin does his best to provoke the demon inside his sister. As the creature emerges, Doyle is confronted by the truth while the country moves towards an armed conflict that cause the end of the world.
The Story: Hannah Rose May ramps up the tension and suspense throughout this issue. The story is getting darker and more intense as things heat up both personally and professionally for the President. I continue to be impressed by this series and all of the twists and turns that the story takes. Everything is coming together in compelling ways that make me excited to see how it all ends.
The Art: Del Rey delivers beautiful art throughout the issue. The visuals are stunning and perfectly capture the tone and mood of the story.
