After the death and betrayal at the end of the last volume, we get six stories based around supporting characters and the new horrific antagonist, all drawing various plot strands along, if not together. A soldier joins an elite team, parents decide to resist, two lazarii are told to murder each other, a reporter searches for a story and a monster is undefeated. It's not quite the pure rush of Rucka/Lark Lazarus, but it's a satisfying little tour of their dystopian world.
