Huck’s girlfriend left him for her old fiancé and has come home pregnant. Can the world’s nicest man forgive her? Also, what will Huck’s mother do when she gets her hands on the man who humiliated Huck and broke her heart? Warning: It’s not pretty.
OverallIf I hadn't known in advance that this series was six issues, I might have been tricked into thinking this was the final oneif it weren't for the sudden twist ending. I loved that Dr. Harper found Sophia with help from Huck and his mum, but it seems their journey across America comes with costly and personal repercussions for Huck. It will be interesting to see how he deals with these sudden changes, and even more so considering Huck is an Autistic character. I'm curious to see how Millar weaves these shifts in circumstances into Huck's narrative over the last two issues. Read Full Review
Albuquerque delivers stunning art throughout the issue. The character designs continue to be compelling and I love the visual tone of the art. Read Full Review
Huck Big Bad World 4 definitely lands hard in a way that calls for a very strong final two issues to determine if this cliffhanger was the best approach. Read Full Review
Plot
Huck, Anna and Dr. Harper talk to Sophia, who lives in a remote place where she can take care of her grandson, whose powers are powerful, influenced by emotions and does not control them.
Sophia's daughter has been missing for years and she is taking care of her grandson in the hope of seeing her back, she asks Huck to locate her using a photo with her full name Rosie Beth Katrina Raskin, but Huck says she can't locate her, that she is not, that means they killed her.
Harper stays with Sophie, both will live together, his love at first sight is mutual. Sophie did not stay with Harper that day that saved him because she was part of a team of five people with powers who had sworn to stay in hiding, but all myst more
Great writing and art. The characters are mostly really likeable, this issue had two gut punches (spoiler warning):
First when his ex comes crawling back, it's really frustrating to see that kind of bs. And his naive ass is probably going to take her back too. It's uncomfortable seeing an innocent mind be taken advantage of like that. Second was what happened to his mom, shocking moment.
