The Rundown: Sara goes after Grinteeth after making a choice that will shake her.

After Sara and Lisa discover the truth about Grinteeth and her identity, Sara has a decision to make. Knowing that Grinteeth has taken more hostages, Sara’s decision to rescue them puts her at odds with Lisa as she knows the hostages are the men involved in human trafficking.

Sara makes her way to the church they are being held in and proceeds to face off against Grinteeth and a series of dangerous, angelic avatars. As she continues the battle, Sara must determine is she really is the hero or the villain in this encounter.

The Story: Bennett brings this arc to a powerful, engaging and compelling conclusion. The action is thrilling and I love the growing moral dilemma Sara faces as she goes after someone she feels she failed. I continue to enjoy the dynamic between Sara and Lisa and the toll Sara’s decision takes on their relationship. I love the gray area that the conclusion leaves Sara in and look forward to see what happens next.

The Art: Cafaro’s art is beautifully detailed and visually stunning. There are moments that leap off the page and draw you in.
