Part 2 of the 4-part "Girl on Girl." The swashbuckling adventure continues on board an old cruise ship rechristened The Whale, where the last man on Earth meets an alluring young captain. As romance blossoms in some cabins, betrayal, deceit and murder flourish below deck.
A couple of moments in this issue disappointingly lack background, and the characters weren't as expressive as I've come to expect from this series. However, I will give the art full marks for its clear presentation of the main ideas, as Yorick's face when he exits his dream was a perfect moment for the character, as was his dumbfounded expression when he makes a late night visit to Doctor Mann's room. The big action sequence was also well done, as there's a nice little moment where Agent 355 finds herself struggling to figure out which side she's supposed to be on, and the finish to this exchange has a nice brutal quality to it. There's also a cute little bit where Doctor Mann manages to trick the woman guarding the prisoner, as I loved the character's face as she accepts the rather simple logic of what Doctor Mann was telling her. I also have to give the cover full marks for capturing the big idea of this issue, as this image is sure to capture the attention of the passing reader. Read Full Review
