Wooooaaahhhh I thought from the start that nothing could surprise me with everything that has already happened and then I think ZOMBIES. Nope.... just bad nightmares. Poop Blurgirl! And if that wasn't creepy enough, then you go and add Moon looking like Syd so that Fagen can get off with something different..... Yeah, I'm just curious since you see Moon's true reflection next to her illusion of Syd, if that means when they are out and she uses her abilities if you can be "caught" if someone is looking into a mirror and then looks around and sees things differently. I don't know how really that wouldn't make someone seem crazy but still. Otherwise, another great issue and even more pulling me in. This series is moving to the top of my pull list each month. Eric Stephenson and gang have officially been added to my ever growing list of creators that I must read everything they have created.

I have to admit, if this issue continued down the path of irredemable doom and gloom I would have stopped reading. however, i actually liked this one. so far, there has been a pretty dim view of what young people with powers would do if left to their own devices. I have1 been waiting for Syd to stand up to them, and now that she is finally noticing something besides how sorry she feels for herself, I am curious to see where this goes.
I hated the last issue and if I'd hated this too I probably would have given up, but it drew me back in and I'm looking forward to seeing what happens next.
So far the most interesting issue. Multiple potential story arcs / factions / ultierior motives... The writer has given himself a lot of room to manoeuvre.
