The Rundown: The team is fractured as the Sparrows hold grows and bigger threats emerge.

Vanya finds her new alliance with the Sparrows to be more difficult when she spots them having some play time that includes playing soccer with the heads of villains that they have killed. At the same time, Number 5 has a harsh confrontation with Allison as she and Klaus are in hiding. A confrontation that will lead Number 5 to take matters into his own hands after getting help from Diego.

Diego finds things more difficult on the streets as criminals are trying to either escape the city or turn themselves in out of fear of the Sparrows. With things becoming more intense, the president has his own plans as the election draws near and forces from beyond our world prepare for the next part of their plan.

The Story: Way and Ba craft a fun, intense and entertaining story in this issue. I love seeing these characters on the defensive because it stirs up the drama and conflict that I love seeing with them. There is great action in the issue as well as a dark, engaging tone that kept me intrigued. I cannot wait to see how this story grows and evolves.

The Art: Ba delivers fantastic art throughout the issue. I love the imagery and how intense and thrilling the action looks on the page.
