Cliffhanger issue! Okay, but really, it's not one of those cliffhangers that will drive you nuts for a month (because you can kind of guess how it's going to turn around), but it is still a cliffhanger. So consider yourself warned. Great issue on the whole though, even taking the cliffhanger into consideration. They did a great job making Thirteen seem more human, while also showing us the darker parts of the world. Looking forward to seeing how the next issue will handle the situation.
