It was full of action and adventure, and a few more mysteries for our heroes to solve. I thought Tom Taylor did a good job with this story arc. And of course, Al Barrionuevo did a terrific job with the art. But I would've expected nothing less from him. Now we just have to sit back and see where the Carrier takes our group of heroes next. Eventually, maybe, they'll make it back to Earth.
