The uneasy alliance between Blair Spencer's team of human soldiers and the vampire Xavier Drake and the monsters that he leads has been pushed to the limits. But they've managed to hold together and escape the creatures and bandits that have taken over Chicago...or have they? Just when it looks like Spencer will complete her mission and deliver the cure that will save humanity from becoming primordial creatures, everything falls apart. Now with the time quickly running out Spencer finds herself trapped on a mysterious island from which no one has escaped alive. And if she can't find a way to survive hope for the human race will die with her.
Monster Planet has rapidly surpassed my initial judgment in thinking this would be a formulaic story of unwanted alliances, instead emerging into the light as a tale of needed relationships for the betterment of all. But as we near the complicated conclusion for this moving series, a change in art styles and shift in coloring techniques makes this issue seem misplaced within the overall excellence of the title, and I can only hope it will be settled once the dust settles in the end. And yet this stumble is insignificant as we look forward to a finale that will hopefully supply readers with a finish that is meaningful to those who have become invested within these dynamic female leads.
