This issue was mostly about Rahne leaving the group. Actually, it's about how the whole group is kind of changing it's dynamic right now. Rictor puts it best, "Faith is what you cling to when reason says there's no point. Hope is what you cling to in the absence of reason. In the absence of everything . . what's left to cling to? God . . please . . somebody . . tell me." That's how he feels about Rahne's absence. She's been haunted by the visions that Tryp senior showed her . . . of her killing Jamie and Layla. So, I think, she feels her best option is to not be in the situation so it won't be able to happen. But there's other things going on too. Theresa has finally told someone about the pregnancy. She's decided to talk to Monet about it. Jamie still doesn't know . . but I don't think it's going to be long now. Rictor, still an important part of the group, is starting to get a feeling from the community that there's a division. The Pans are slowly starting to move out, and the Rems are getting pissed about it. Right now, he's not sure what to do about it, though. Jamie is just looking for something to hit. So he goes after a local Purifier group. It's not even really about the Purifiers. It's more about him just wanting to get some of his frustrations out. And Guido . . . Guido is just kind of going with the flow. I think he feels everything that everyone else is feeling, but his best course is following the others. He won't back down from a fight. But, he doesn't initiate things. Right now, it seems as if Monet is the most stable of the group. Oh, and I almost forgot, they still have to figure out how to get Layla back from the future. I really like how Peter David is handling this group. He does a fantastic job when he's writing a team-book. And he really seems to have a handle on all of these characters. I'm not overly thrilled with Pablo Raimondi's pencils, but . . they do fit the mood of the book . . perfectly. I really like this book. I hope it has a future.
