This was one of my favorite issues so far. I love the game that half the cast is playing, and as it escalates I found myself smiling again and again. Just a very, very good issue.
This felt short for some reason as well. But judging by the little sneak peak blurb for the next chapter, it sounds like a new story arc might be starting up, so I guess this was just a quick wrap up of the last one. Anyway... I am curious about all the bugs the girls just released on the camp, and if that'll come into play in the next few parts! It didn't seem to be mentioned in the blurb, but I'd be surprised if something that big just got brushed off.
I feel like the fourth issue conclusions are always the weak point of these arcs. I also feel like while this one was fun, it was a diversion away from the time vortex mystery, Rosie and Abigail and Nellie, etc.
