The Rundown: Things get more dangerous when two killers decide to team up.

One of the patrons of the event decides to lodge a complaint with the organizers when he discovers that is killer has decided to team with another that he is romancing. Something the patron is mercilessly mocked for while another whose sister is in the field as one of the killers looks for sympathy and understanding from one of the veteran patrons.

In the town, Audrey almost crashes into the sheriff station transporting her injured boss to safety when they come upon Laura and her ambulance. As another trap is sprung and Aubrey and Laura are alone, they decide to go looking for Audrey’s son while the two killers decide to use a packed rock show as a venue for their own celebration.

The Story: Bellaire and Tynion IV craft an intense and entertaining story in this issue. There are some darkly fun and funny moments throughout the story and a great vibe to the dark and ominous plot. I love the buildup of emotion throughout the event as well as the character interactions. The action and danger are building throughout the story and I cannot wait to see what happens next.

The Art: Roe and Walsh deliver beautifully detailed art that perfectly captures the dark, fun tone of the story.
