The Rundown: Peter and Miles deal with the aftermath of their dark fantasies while someone in the same boat develops a new problem.
In the wake of escaping from and destroying the Arcadium, the real work begins as Peter and Miles deal with a death connected to the events, lose two of their suspects due to the actions of an interested third party and find themselves looking for a way to help their fellow victims.
After meeting with a friend, Peter brings in a therapist to begin group sessions with the victims of the Arcadium. Victims that have some personal things to deal with while one of them discovers a power she never knew she possessed.
The Story: Weisman delivers a great follow up to the previous arc by creating a story that deals with the aftermath of the trauma the characters faced and does so in a healthy and engaging way. I like that there are still repercussions that the characters have to face and the story has a wonderfully light progression that not only teases some new conflict to come, but also brings the characters together to deal with something personal and dangerous for someone they know.
The Art: Laiso and Genolet deliver some great art in the issue. I enjoyed the visual style a lot and the style beautifully matched the tone of the story.
