Late review, this issue actually came out a couple of weeks ago, but I somehow missed it (I hate the way Amazon screwed up Comixology). I got it now.

Alright, so in the previous issue, we found out that Todd is batshit crazy, and in this issue, we find out why. It seems that his mother abandoned him and his father four years earlier, and this lead him to withdraw his feelings and express a desire for violence. His father had a gun collection, and Todd may have used them to kill his father, although it’s not clear. He seemed like a budding school shooter, only those plans were interrupted by the alien invasion that devastated his city. Now, holed up in his abandoned high school with the other survivors, Daysha, Kurtis, and Angie, Todd has tied up Angie in a room and is now hunting Daysha and Kurtis with what looks like an AK-47.

Meanwhile, Travon, who has discovered that he is actually a sleeper agent transported to Earth by the aliens, infused with tech that is someone the key to wiping out the human race so the aliens can repopulate it (with Travon as their leader, aka Monarch), has turned against his people and wants to save humanity, starting with Daysha, whom he loves, and his friends. Thus he’s’ running from the alien machines as he tries to make it back to the high school, unaware of the chaos that’s happening there.

The story Rodney Barnes is writing here is amazing, just when I think I can guess where it’s going, he throws another curveball. And Alex Lins’ art gets better with each issue. Chacebook rating: FIVE STARS
