The Rundown: Abe tries to forget, but the hunt for the human continues to craw him in.

After escaping possible death, Abe is not taking things well and has become a virtual junkie looking for small bursts of power anywhere he can find it. Things continue to get worse for him as he wanders the city and the outskirts with other robots among the ruin of the former human world looking for any power that he can find.

As things get worse for him and his quest to forget the human continues, he finds himself at the scene of an accident where he finds possible evidence of a human. He goes on the search and finds the human who he chases through the desert only to lose her again.

The Story: Matthew and Mark Elijah craft a dark, thoughtful and engaging story in this issue. The descent of Abe and his lack of purpose are great character traits and moments for the reader to connect with the character. I love the buildup of suspense throughout the story and where it leaves Abe and the reader at the end of the issue as it teases what could be coming for both the robot and the human.

The Art: Macdonald creates some great art throughout the issue. I continue to love the visuals and the dark imagery of both the robots and the wreck of the human world they inhabit.
