The Rundown: An accident will cost precious time and Milton’s friend makes a dangerous choice.

Milton, Flynn, Anders and his son continue their journey to the cost where a rescue plane will be coming to take them out of the warzone. With time running out, they discover that the bridge has been destroyed. Attempting to cross will cost them more time when Anders is dangerously injured and Flynn tries to convince Milton to leave him behind.

Milton goes off looking for supplies to help with Anders’ injuries and Flynn uses that moment to release his pent up rage and take care of Anders and his son once and for all. A move that will cause the boy Emil to run and Flynn give chase. Unfortunately, the commander hunting them tracks them down and gives Flynn another dangerous choice.

The Story: Remender ramps up the suspense and tension throughout this issue. Many of the story elements were predictable, but still executed in a brilliant way that kept me engaged throughout the story. The darkness in Flynn has been growing throughout this arc and the story builds on that darkness and hatred even through moments of relative peace until he finds a way to last out with it. I look forward to seeing where the story goes next given Flynn’s position and the choice given to him.

The Art: Acuna crafts some beautifully detailed and visually exciting art throughout the issue. The character designs are amazing and the chase between Flynn and Emil is fantastic.
