The Rundown: After discovering the truth, the President brings in help to perform a dangerous ritual that could cost her everything.
President Doyle and the rest of the first family have confirmation that her daughter has been possessed by a demon. As she tries to determine what to do next, one of her staff tries to convince her to begin the military operation she has been hesitant to start. An operation that could lead to nuclear war.
Calling on the power of the Presidency, Doyle makes a direct call to the Pope who believes her when new information is uncovered. With the world on the brink of war, her own staff betraying her to her political rivals and a demon in possession of her daughter, the President has one chance to save the people she loves as well as the planet. A task that will require faith and the help of a powerful Nuncio.
The Story: Hannah Rose May brings this story to an exciting and satisfying conclusion filled with great tension and thrills. There are moments of great terror along with moments of great emotion between the characters. The pacing of the conclusion is a little fast, but that does add to the tension of every moment and I appreciated that the story builds on that pacing in ways that ramp up the suspense.
The Art: Vanesa Del Rey delivers beautifully detailed and visually haunting art throughout the issue. I love the imagery in this issue and how it captures the emotion of the moment.
