I have some good news . . and some bad news. Actually, change that . . I have some bad news . . and some worse news. The bad new is that it appears that everything . . all the way from issue #1 . . and even before that . . has all been a set-up, or a game, that's been played by Chronos and Lady-Chronos. We're not exactly sure how yet, but Lady-Chronos is somehow linked to Ryan. She could be a old love, a family member, even a future sibling . . that part's not clear yet, but somehow she is directly linked to him. From what I gather this issue, she started out by working for Chronos. He kept her on a very short leash. However, somewhere along the line she gained the advantage and she is the true power now. Although, the Chronos that has been causing Ryan problems, and bouncing around through time, doesn't know this yet . . because, it hasn't happened yet. Yet somehow, this Lady-Chronos from the future is using Chronos' actions to further manipulate Ryan. The letters that Ryan and Ray Palmer shared . . were created by them. It's been a manipulation right from the beginning. But . . we don't know why yet. I assume that picture will become clearer next issue. Which segue's right into the worse news . . next issue is the last issue. As contradictory as this will sound . . after hearing about all the complicated manipulations of Chonos and his wife (?) . . Rick Remender and Pat Olliffe have actually accomplished a lot in the last couple of issues to clear up the complexity of this series. Really! So, to me, it's sad that it's all coming to a conclusion. There's going to be a lot going on next issue. Oh yeah . . I've been remiss . . there actually is some good news. On the final page of this issue . . . Ray Palmer returns. "Excuse me for intruding here, son . . . but it looks like you could use some help!" Unfortunately, the best issue may be the final issue.
