"WISH YOU WERE HERE," Part Five
Life. Death. Rebirth. All of this and more await Elle when she faces her newest challenge. And it wouldn't be the conclusion of an arc without twists, turns, shocks, and revelations! A new memory leads Elle to turn on one of her "allies", and finally - HOODIE IS REVEALED! And no one will be prepared for what happens when they find out who it is!
I have to give credit to Jim McCann for writing a great complex tale filled with a large cast of characters, which isn't easy in comics, especially for including a recap page that only helps new readers that want to jump into the story but fill them in on what's happened too. Read Full Review
This issue is huge. With the big reveal, the details of another major plot point being presented. While there needs to be quite a bit of time spent on this series to really understand what happened, it is worth the investment as this is one of the most complex and interesting stories that is in the world of comics. This issue made a big promise, and it delivered in a major way, keeping up on the high quality of work that this series has maintained throughout its ten issues. Read Full Review
It's great having a comic series like MIND THE GAP. Jim McCann is giving us a comic that falls into the "something different" category. With a story full of mystery, twists and suspense, you never know what's going to happen. This is the type of comic you will read slowly or find yourself reading through again, to try to pick up on hidden clues to the big mystery. Even when we get major revelations, like in this issue, you discover there is so much more left to the story. The art and color make the experience even more enjoyable Read Full Review
Jim McCann is proving to be a writer to watch during 2013 and beyond. Hes taken something as universal as death and spun it into a metaphysical roller coaster ride. Like a true pro, he allows the story to unfold on its own without dragging it out too long. Every issue, theres something new and fresh that is added to the overall story. It isnt convoluted either. This is some mighty fine writing here and we snobby comic fans should take notice. Im just saying. Read Full Review
Critiques aside, this issue of Mind The Gap restored my faith in the series. I was toying with dropping it because I can only hang on for so long before giving up the overpowering weight of the mysteries (see Lost), but the cliffhanger has pulled me right back in, and I'm looking forward to seeing how the events of this issue play out next month.

This issue definitely gives you the motherload of plot twists (in relation to ones prior), revealing just how much groundwork McCann has done all along. Read Full Review
Overall, this issue is without a doubt the biggest one since #1. Things are revealed, it's the payoff. It is rather difficult to keep up with it all, so be prepared for investment. It'll be interesting to go back and see all the clues leading up to this. Mind the Gap just became bigger in scope, not bad for a soap opera comic. Read Full Review
Elle gets interrupted right when Crenshaw is going to say who her mother works for by more comatose patients wanting Elle to enter their body and say good bye to their loved ones. They come out of nowhere so I don’t know if they are trying to help Crenshaw or if Elle has some mental issues. There is still lots going on and I hope I don’t have to wait as long to see the next issue come out. Read Full Review
