Art by JM Ringuet
This has been an interesting book. Hickman has told the story of mankinds' development of post-human abilities through technology as a 'Behind the Music' style documentary. The focus of the documentary up to this issue has been about the rivalry between two different companies; one working with genetics, the other with cybernetic add-ons.
The last issue had ended with a surprise hostile takeover from within of one of the companies, but instead of focusing on that, this issue jumps up ten years to look at the eventual outcome of the corporate war. As has become standard in this series, the book ends with a twist that wraps up a final loose end in this series.
Ringuet's art is expressive - it's hard to keep interesting a series that is ultimately a talking-heads TV show. This book will read well in trade, without the long delay between issues.
