Meru and the Eraser race to recruit ex-Mind Mgmt agents, but Meru's powers are a hindrance and bring about an unwitting disaster when they turn the Magician against them. Brutal battles begin to unfold in which Meru's team are caught off balance and unprepared, and even Duncan's predictive abilities are neutralised. Will any of them survive?

Throughout the series, Kindt has impressed on a sheer technical level, experimenting boldly with his visual storytelling, bending and breaking reality in keeping with the tone of paranoia and fake realities and identities and constructed or erased memories. Brilliantly designed, full of fluid, flowing action scenes and disorienting shifts and turns, this is something of a modern comics masterpiece.
