God, this book is depressing. It's also mostly a mix of everything from Lone Wolf and Cub to The Road to Mad Max to Hostel. It's certainly not original (did he get the idea from that Fall Out Boy video?), but it is engrossing, heart-wrenching, sad, and entertaining. Last issue we learned that Gus was created in a lab. In this issue the scientists attempt to figure out if Gus was the reason for the virus starting. We also get some more back story of Tommy, the grizzled old dude who still misses his wife. This issue is more of a bridge than anything, and for that it feels like a throwaway, been-there-done-that issue. There are still big questions that unfold. Who's the woman that Tommy goes to at the end of the issue? Why did they kill Tommy's wife? What's the deal with the virus and Gus? Hopefully it won't take years to find out the answers. As great as this series is, it's already starting to feel a little stale. **1/2 (out of ****)
