Well, the kids are finally back. It's 6 months from the time they left, in their time, but they're back. The issue starts out much in the same way as all the others. Grunge is wisecracking, Roxy is trying to hold it together, and Caitlin, as always, comes across as the mother figure. Meanwhile there was a problem with their transportation. The field opened for them to step out of the teleporter, but, just as they were about to the High blew up one of his doppelgangers. Unfortunately, Bobby was looking at it at the time. So, he may be blind. We're not really sure if he's going to recover or not. And with the energy burst it knocked out the systems power so, since they couldn't get out, they were relegated to a back-up file. It isn't until a Ratcatcher back at I/O is trying to make a 'decomposition battery' that there's enough juice for them to get out. But, like I said, it's 6 months later when it happens. When they finally get out of the basement of the I/O headquarters they find out that New York City has been destroyed. I liked Christos Gage's story, but I wasn't overly impressed with Mike Huddleston's pencils. He does a different style here, and unfortunately . . I don't like it. The back-up story, about Lynch, is brought to us by Christos and Trevor Hairsine. Now this is some art that's incredibly detailed. Lynch finds Tao's safe-house and in it finds out that he was holding someone captive. Maybe he did orchestrate the world's end, as Lynch surmises, because the captive he has is Void. She's the one that tried to put a stop to this whole thing ahead of time. Did he stop her so things would continue to play out? We'll have to wait for the PhD book to find out that answer. Overall I thought it was an ok book. I just didn't particularly like the art in the Gen13 story. But that's just me.
