The Rundown: While the family races off to deal with a medical emergency, Rex is left to look after the home.

The eye that Roland has been studying is taken by the newest addition to the family and brought to the room of their youngest daughter Rae. The next morning, Rae gets sick and the family has to turn to one of the neighbors to use their vehicle to get her to the hospital. With the family gone, the two men tracking their missing money converge on the house with a team of mercenaries.

As the team enters the home and begins to look around, they discover that there are secrets in the home. The other things they discover is that the family dog Rex has secrets of his own. Secrets that will pit the family pit against an army. In the future, the woman pursuing the Rocketfellers gets a clue to their location and reveals a deeper connection to the family.

The Story: Tomasi crafts a thrilling story in this issue. All of the events that have building in this story so far take a big step forward and the issue is filled with not only great tension and suspense, but also humor. The story continues to create great moments for both the characters and the world they inhabit. After the reveal at the end of the issue, I look forward to seeing what happens next.

The Art: Manapul delivers fantastic art throughout the issue. The visual style is immersive and engaging with every page and panel.
