The tension in the story comes from wondering what Clevenger did, and how much damage the two groups of innocent people will do to each other before Jonah restores the balance and good triumphs. Of course in this book "good" doesn't really enter the equation, and in the end all Jonah can do is offer one of the victims a chance to get some revenge. But such is life in his bleak world.

I liked the issue.

I very much enjoyed it, especially the twist. I didn't see it coming at all. And I loved how they used the art to tell the twist scene. Other writers (*coughJephLoebcough*) would cram 50 text boxes in there to explain, in detail, what was going on. But letting the art tell the story made the scene very powerful, in my opinion.
