Like the previous issue it's the last few pages of the issue that actually offer up the plot advancement, while the rest of the issue is a fairly enjoyable, if unproductive examination of the evidence that Jessica's managed to piece together thus far. Now the final sequence does cast some doubt on the idea that the young girl was targeted because she was believed to be a mutant. One might even get the idea that she simply ran away, and that she may of played a role in the murder of her father. In any event, Brian Michael Bendis does deserve credit for keeping the playing field so open, even if he's accomplished it by offering rather nebulous clues about why the girl went missing, that could very well end up being red herrings. In the end this issue is a good example of Brian Michael Bendis' dialogue skills as up until the final couple pages the various conversations Jessica has with others are all the reader really receives.
