The T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents make a final stand against The Iron Maiden in the present, as a bitter truth about the villainess and Colleen is revealed in a look back at the past. One of the most critically acclaimed books of the year reaches the shocking finale of its latest chapter, but trust us, this ain't the end not by a long shot!

The pacing and structure of this arc was a risk that didn't pay off. The '60s back-ups didn't add much to the story, filling in gaps implied elsewhere with not much besides Dragotta's art to make them worthwhile in any way.

This issue ends the first volume and the series returns in November with a new first issue. Based on this story arc, though, I won't be picking that up. This story so killed my enthusiasm that I went from writing such glowing reviews that they were quoted on the cover of the comic, to wanting nothing to do with it. Read Full Review
