Jeremiah is doing everything he can to make the rebuilding of the Asylum a success, but . . things may be out of his control. At first he thinks there's some glitches, but . . things are happening to often to be coincidental. Some plumbing problems here, and electrical glitch there . . but the things that have been happening are to specific. Take Mr Freeze, for instance. The cooling unit in his cell goes out, so Jeremiah has him transferred to the meat locker. They barely have him in place, and starting to cool down,when the meat locker malfunctions. They move him somewhere else, but the meat locker starts working after they leave. Anyways, Jeremiah doesn't know it yet but his right-hand man, Alyce Sinner is in cahoots with the Black Mask. I don't know if the Black Mask is upset because they've recaptured about 70% of the prisoners that he set loose . . or maybe he's mad because they're diminishing his work force. Whatever the reason, Black Mask wants Jeremiah and the Asylum to go down in flames. 'I want Arkham to see himself as others see him . . an inadequate, dirt-eating worm. So tell me . . is he close to breaking?' Alyce even uses a voice modulator, and a computer graphic of the original curator, Amadeus Arkham, to stir up the inmates. By the time Jeremiah attends the gala fund-raiser for the new therapy wing of the Asylum . . Alyce has incited a full scale riot. I'm just not sure why Black Mask is so desperate to break Jeremiah. I guess we'll find out next issue, as it's the last of the series. David Hine writes this story. I love David's work, but . . things just don't seem to original here. Not compared to his usual work. However, with a 3 issue series, he doesn't have to much lateral room to work with. But the proof is in the pudding. We'll see how he wraps it all up next issue. Jeremy Haun is the penciller. His work is . . ok. It's not necessarily a style that I like, but . . it does fit this book well. Covers are by Frazer Irving. Overall I thought it was an ok book . . a little boring and predictable. But as I said . . we'll see what happens next issue.
