Rahne has returned, but she’s not the same shy innocent the others
remember. Even though everyone’s pleased to see her, the affect her
presence brings isn’t all good.
This issue had a really nice flow to it. The characters are still
evolving and the character interaction was really interesting, fun and
natural. At first I thought Rahne was acting a bit strange, seeing that
she is older than the other kids. But then it all becomes clear and it
was a logical, psychological view point. It was also fun to see Emma
playing her chess game with the kids and we find out if David, Sofia,
Laurie and Josh can conduct electricity. Some characters are forced to
look into themselves and, well, what an ending!
I think the cover sets the tone perfectly for the book. It has a
rebellious, intense feel to it and with the cross a prominent feature
on her neck, you can see the inner conflict in the religion and
character coming through. With a slightly harder edge to the book this
issue, the interior art stumbles sometimes in portraying the emotion
that is specified, as the facial expressions seem either one way or the
other. I thought that Emma’s office though, was perfectly captured with
her spirit. With the modern décor and Andy Warhol type portrait.
