Brune and Dak Moyra continue their journey deep in the underground city while Jeremiah Harm, being a good straight up bounty hunter goes after them. While Dak Moyra goes ahead and succeeds in opening the portal that can destroy the universe, Brune and Harm fight each other. But stopping Brune is quite a challenge for Jeremiah Harm, as fighting a gaseous creature that can turn into poisonous gas is challenging. Can Harm stop Brune and Dak Moyra in time?
There are more bad ass fights in this issue and the way Jeremiah Harm try to contain Brune is inventive. I like the characterisation of the humans who try to keep up with Harm. Although most will probably be killed later in the series, they each show individual voices. I liked the fact that some decided not to go along with Harm. The cliche would have been to keep them all near Harm and bump off one after the other. That some were too scared to follow and just left means something else is brewing in the subplot department.
The guest artist this issue is more fun than the regular one. I like his angular drawings and spilled inks. The characters look as tough as usual and the settings are as detailed. However, the rendition is clearer. Albuquerque masters super hero fights already and has a good storytelling.
