I'm not exactly sure what the picture on the cover has to do with the contents of the book, but . . . it's interesting. I'll give it that. Well, as we wind down this series, Adam, and his whole "clan" are in Cuba looking up his long estranged father. He also happens to be a minister. Actually a priest. It turns out Mamie is still in love with him. Upon seeing him though, last issue, she had a heart attack. Vanessa ends up being the one that immediately jumps to her aid and starts giving her CPR. But when it appears that isn't going to work, Mel jumps in and shocks her with a lamp cord. Quite the family we got going here. This issue was kind of a touchy-feely book. Cyndi tells Mel she's pregnant. Because, watching him/her in action with the electricity scared the crap out of her. It flashed through her mind . . what would she do if she lost him? Adam has some deep moments with his father. They kind of help each other sort stuff out. And in the end, they both agree that the reason Adam hasn't consummated his marriage, is because they're weren't actually married under the eyes of god. So his father, Rey, offers his services. And Mel is still looking for the guy that killed Adam's first girlfriend. If nothing else . . this book has been consistent. Steven T Seagle has steered this ship on a pretty steady course. There's been a few bumps and surprises along the way, but, I think, he's stayed true to his original vision. It hasn't been one of my favorites, but . . it's something different to read every month. Which really is why I started picking it up in the first place. But now we're nearing the end. It just isn't getting any support. My guy only orders 2 or 3 issues every month. And then he worries if they're going to sell or not. So now we just have to wait and see how he's going to wrap up this whole story.
