I've got to say it: At first, I wasn't entirely sure how I felt about this plot. But the more I've seen of it, the more I've become interested in seeing what happens next (and admittedly the real reason I wasn't sure at first is because of the sheer number of characters I like being shown floating in purple filled tubes, but I digress).
This issue had several great moments, one comical, the rest intense and steadily building towards a bigger moment in the series. The conclusion was quite a surprising twist as well, can't wait to see how that whole mess plays out!
