The Rundown: Mr. X-Ray needs allies to stop Pranky and a bus load of new souls might hold the key to an idea.

Pranky decides to pay a visit to Miss Goodbody in order to not only steal her latest victim, but also to leave her with a warning about what will happen is she crosses him. At the same time, X-Ray is going through the list of current residents of Hyde Street to see if there is anyone there that will help him stop Pranky so he can finally leave, but prospects are few.

When a bus full of tourists crash into Hyde Street, Mr. X-Ray discovers a unique opportunity. An opportunity that will come as he brings the passengers to a special screening at the local theater that not only shows how bad they are as people, but also what they did to bring them to Hyde Street.

The Story: Johns crafts an entertaining and suspenseful story in this issue. I like that the story and the characters are ramping up the conflict while also keeping the mystery interesting to the reader. I continue to enjoy the world building and interpersonal conflicts in this series and this issue teases some really intriguing things to come on Hyde Street.

The Art: Portela delivers great art in the issue. There is a fun, light quality to the visuals that was engaging.
