This issue basically confirmed what I was expecting last issue - poor payoff for the dramatic setup. And we're off to a second "arc", after a very unsatisfying first "arc".


The secret agent reveal wasn't much of a reveal, as it was pretty obvious by that point - and yes, it's basically proven that what he did in the last issue was completely nonsensical (i.e. revealing his powers, wanting to talk and then trying to kill, and then wanting to talk again, and trying to kill again - either stop trying to talk to people you're trying to kill, or stop trying to kill people you're trying to apprehend).

The explosive disaster wasn't much of disaster when it came to body count (i.e. zero). And the wrapping up of this "arc" wasn't satisfying at all, leaving it very much open to interpretation, since nobody died and nobody get caught.

Oh, and there was an interlude of a completely disjointed scene of two people having a chat on a plane. I guess thats the mysterious benefactor we'll be seeing more of? I'm almost dreading the reveal of the reason behind why this benefactor is helping Adam and Elakshi.
