Still an alright story. I think the idea is to kind of deconstruct troubled superheroes. Lara is so disheveled and such a freaking loser it's hard to take her seriously as the hero. She constantly does the wrong thing and is constantly so drunk she can barely function. Let's see if she can survive the next issue!

All the strands from the previous issues come together in the typically entertaining fashion as we head towards our conclusion. Our soused hero, Lara, continues to try doing the right thing in all the wrong ways and I can't wait for the finale.
