Art by Boo Cook
The last five issues of Elephantmen have been a part of an arc called Dangerous Liaisons, which is more of a thematic than plot-driven arc.
This issue doesn't really fit though. There is some small aspect of the story involving the basically non-existent relationship between Ebony Hide and Savannah, the little girl from the early issues of the book, most of the story involves some people using old Mappo technology to make Ebony fight some alligators.
I find it hard to believe that through the whole lengthy rehabilitation that the Elephantmen went through, that no one ever removed behaviour-controlling chips from the backs of their necks. It seems like it would have been a no-brainer.
This is another very nice looking issue of Elephantmen though. Boo Cook's creatures look a lot more muscular than I'm used to, but his art throughout is consistently strong. I especially like the splash page of Ebony feeding his cats.
