So now I understand that this whole series boils down to the Question . . Renee Montoya. Apparently, this is where she earns her stripes, and shows everybody that she's the new Question. She's even got Professor Rodor's help. Like he has much of a choice. Charlie left them, both, the Lighthouse. His former base of operations, and now theirs. But currently she's obsessed with this Crime Bible. Rightfully so, though. They keep coming after her. This issue she finally heads out to Hub City. There have been 17 policemen killed in the last 3 weeks, and now an attempt has been made on the Mayor . . Myra. It turns out though that her attempt was a feint to try to draw out the Question. But Renee isn't the Question she wanted. Long story short, the Commissioner has a short list of all the good cops. Cops he can trust. And those are the ones that have been taken out. But now there's only a few left. Including himself. It turns out it is one of his own men, Munroe, that are behind the attacks. He's also been swayed by the Crime Bible and is doing it in homage to them, and to collect the badges. When Munroe abducts the Commish himself, Renee is following them and goes back to his "workshop". In his haste to escape he comes across Flay, who as he's holding him over the edge of the building, tells Renee "You were strong . . . he was weak. And now . . you've murdered him." Not literally, obviously. But he's saying that it was her fault. As he leaves, he gives her the coordinates of where they will meet in 4 weeks, and the warning that if she doesn't come, " . . I will visit the fourth lesson upon everyone who has ever had meaning in your life . . ." The lessons so far have been Deceit, Lust, Greed and Murder. After that, I'm not sure what the final lesson could be. But I'm sure Greg Rucka will have an interesting story to tell us next issue.
