when Jimmy causes some press cameramen's equipment to blow up, Art begins to suspect Jimmy isn't human. He seeks conformation from Shonarch and reveals that he poisoned his own dog after it had injured a local child rather than see it put down. This makes us very nervous about what he'll do to Jimmy....
Jimmy transforms into Benjamin and reveals all to Art who has a hard time in taking it all in. Holly becomes jealous and kicks them both out. Seth continues to pine for Shonarch and is torn over his sibling love and jealousy over Benjamin/Jimmy. The volume ends with Art and Benjamin heading for Russia. Odds look good that Seth and Shonarch will follow... Will any of them survive Chernobyl?
The artwork in this volume is particularly nice, there's great detail and wonderful portraits of Shonarch and Art. Not much on the mermaid with tail front, but slightly more than last issue.
A fascinating story, weaving in lots of interesting threads.
