This issue was better than the last, but it also drives home the theme of this series: Forgotten brothers. And honestly I could be down for that, but I really just wanted to get more Silk stories. This is more like sad brother stories, and again, I want to state that there is really something to be had there. What is it like being the forgotten siblings of a superhero? That might be a story worth telling but in a Silk book? Ehhh. All in all an ok story but not really what I wanted. Last issue will be to rescue Albert and my guess is Silk and Sayas brother come out as heroes? Maybe? It just feels like it lack a soul, I cant quite put my finger on it.

The story drops into the real world and the last act of the Saya/Silk conflict launches in a brisk rush that balances character insight against plot development. It's illustrated very nicely, which elevates the reading experience. The problem is, without the movie-dream gimmick, the conflict and the characters engaging in it are looking pretty basic. Saya's plans and motivations are dull and irrational, and Silk's opposition comes off as pro-forma teeth-clenched heroism (Aside: Count how many panels show Silk literally gritting her teeth in determination.) The brothers fare a little better, tied by the shared experience of standing in their sisters' long shadows. Though I enjoyed the focus on Albert earlier, we're running out of pages more

An exposition filled issue. Unfortunately, not really that interesting.
