Walta is at the top of his game in this book, with each individual android clearly going through a gamut of new emotions. There's anguish on display, misery, frustration. The body language is clear as a bell when Virginia smashes a table, or when Vision stops in his tracks. And Jordie Bellaire artfully nails the proper tone with her warm colors and brilliant backdrops. Also, VC's Clayton Cowles deserves all the credit in the world for choosing the right blocks for the narration and the right bubbles and letters to tell the story, not get in the way.

This fallout issue does a great job of allowing the reader to catch their breath after the shocking conclusion of the previous issue, but it also makes the reader brace him or herself for the next inevitable gut punch.

King, Walta, and Bellaire are doing something truly special for not just fans of the medium, but fans of literature in general.

LOWDOWN: A stellar issue that, while is extremely powerful and pefectly executed, can't match the sheer power of the previous issue. 9 out of 10 pelvic thrusts, and a wiggle at the end. For posterity.
