Contemplation
This issue puts the focus back on Renee in Nanda Parbat and the two heroes still lost in space. Although the plot does move along here, it is not really the plot which makes this standout, but rather the characters themselves. With Vic now dead Renee is trying to deal with the grief but she is being about as successful as usual. An intervention by Richard Dragon and the appearance of wise stranger forces her to finally take the right steps. Elsewhere in space the heroes on desperate as their ship is hurtling into a star but they take a moment to resolidify their resolve before another intervention. It is not often that two obscure characters show up (especially two of my favourites) and play such an important role in such an issue but they did here and the issue benefited for it. The parts with Ralph were also well handled.
