This is the one that I missed and had to come back to. Anyways, Hughie comes face to face with . . . oh, I can't remember his name . . he's the guy from the Teen-kix that he killed. The one that came back to life because of that chemical that they put inside of him. Now he's like this super-powered zombie. Anyways, Hughie has to go back to his apartment, and he's there . . because for some reason he's drawn to this hamster. When he was alive he had this pet hamster, but after he died Hughie found it . . and decided to keep it for a pet. This guys pretty much a mess. When they're reanimated, I guess, it's really only for appearances sake . . you know, photo-ops and stuff like that. They want the world to be convinced that they're invincible. But they barely have any cognitive skills. They can't even control their bodily functions. Hughie's trying to talk to him, to get him to leave, and he starts peeing all over the place. Plus, for some reason, he has no pants on, and you can see that . . . well . . never mind, it's pretty disgusting. Suffice it to say, if I was the guy, I'd rather be dead than like this. It seems like the point of this whole thing was like a right-of-passage for Hughie. Butcher lets him decide what to do with the body and how to do it. So there's this whole 'finding of one's self' thing that he goes through during the process. The thing I noticed during Hughie and Butcher's conversation is that Butcher knows a lot more than he lets on. He just doesn't talk about everything he knows. So, I'm betting that Butcher knows that Hughie's little sweetie is on the Seven, even though Hughie himself doesn't know it. Anyways, I love this book. I've enjoyed every story-arc that we've gone through so far. And the best is yet to come. In the next one, Hughie is going to have a long conversation with the Legend, and he's going to explain the workings of the world to him. Everything he doesn't know that he doesn't know. A fantastic job by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson. Keep it up guys!
