Mole Man breaks from the Intelligencia to make a heart-wrenching plea for Kei's help. I feel like the narrative is suffering from focus loss; this issue concentrates on the bad guys and is weaker for it. The Mole Man stuff is pretty brilliant, and the climactic revelation of the baddies' new minion is really promising. Left to their own devices, Kei's monster crew is half-entertaining. David Baldeon's art is cartoony, clear, and entertaining, but it falls short of epic memorability. The final-page character-reveal splash is a little disappointing - but then Frank Cho is a tough act to follow.
