The Rundown: Mike is running for his life in a town filled with people ready to kill him.

Cindy is trying to find a way to help William, but she discovers that it is too late as she sees Mike running away with the item they came to town for. As he gets away from her, she gets captured by the people of the town and taken to a warehouse on the outskirts where more secrets are revealed and more powerful people await.

At the same time, Mike is on the run through the town and gets attacked by everyone from the mailman to the librarian and all of them not only know who he is, but also things about his past. As he barely survives every encounter, he makes his way out of the town only to discover where Cindy has been taken.

The Story: Remender crafts a dark, thrilling and entertaining adventure in this issue. The story has some great action throughout and I continue to be impressed and engaged with the mystery within this series. I really want to know what is going on in this town and with the people in it. There are so many interesting moments throughout the story and there is a great buildup of tension that makes me excited to see what happens next.

The Art: Epting creates some beautifully detailed and visually dark and gritty art throughout the issue. The art style is perfect for the type of story being told in this series.
