We finally learn the fate of Tom Tresser this issue. He's been running around Eclectic City for the last 6 issues not knowing where he is, why he's hear, or even how long he's been here. Then, at the end of this issue . . everything comes together. It appears that Brother Eye, on behalf of the Global Peace Agency has been testing Tom, and putting him through trials. And now . . he's the last. He's the only one that's made it this far, and has figured out things that he wasn't supposed to be able to. In the end, he even questions Brother Eye. It appears that Brother Eye also isn't really in charge, but rather Buddy Blank. And now that he's figured everything out . . they let him go. The next thing he knows he's waking up back in his apartment with his alarm going off and his cat licking his face. But . . there's one of the faceless agents there. Tom tells her to take her mask off because as soon as she starts talking he know who it is . . Adrian Chase. Apparently she was going through the same trials, just not at the same time. I guess while in the city, Tom was moving through space as well as time. That's why when he closed his eyes end open them someplace else. Anyways, now that he's through, they want to offer him a position as a part of their Agency. And it looks like he's going to accept. Overall I thought this series was more than a bit confusing, but . . it was supposed to be that way. I think Ivan Brandon was trying to get us, the reader, to feel the same inconsistencies that Tom was feeling . . the moving from space to space . . and forward and backward in time. So in my book . . he accomplished that because I felt as confused as Tom did. Now, hopefully we'll see more of the Global Peace Agency, and more of Agent Tresser. By the way Cliff Richards did the pencils, and he did a pretty good job also. The proof is in the pudding, though. Where do we go from here?
