This issue tells us the story . . the explanation really . . about what has happened in the Nighshade Dimension, that has caused Eve's powers to malfunction. It actually has to do with Arcady, the city, or world, where Jim, the Nightmaster, was the local hero. It seems after he left them, they were approached by some outsiders needing refuge. They called themselves the Unbound. Well . . . not at first, but when their brand of lunacy, or brainwashing, washed over enough of the city, they could drop their facade of peaceful coexistence. Eventually they turned enough of the population over to their side, that they became the force to be reckoned with. Now, they are building some kind of energy beacon in the center of town, and are feeding it with the bodies of their followers. The problem is, the dimension that they're trying to breach is ours. They just haven't quite been able to do it yet. But, they may be getting some unexpected help . . from the rest of the Shadowpact team. Enchantress has finally figured out that the rest of the team is trapped in the Nightshade dimension, and with Laura's help they're going to try to breach the barrier between the worlds. They're doing so on a mesa in Arizona, because that's where the barrier is the thinnest. However, from the last page of the book, it looks like this was all the help the Unbound needed to finally breach the barrier. So now, on top of almost killing themselves, and trying to rescue their teammates, they're also going to have to defend the Earth from an invasion from a different dimension. But I guess it's all in a days work for this group. Matthew Sturges is now on the scripts, and Tom Derenick does the pencils. I feel like the book, right now, is finally living up to it's potential. It'll be interesting to see where they go from here.
