Art by Chris Grine
This is not the issue of Proof I was expecting. I think that issue - which is supposed to be about Proof's first date with the psychiatrist - is now going to be issue #26.
Instead, we get this rather strange one-off featuring the male fairy child that the Chupacabra has adopted. Apparently male fairies grow much larger and quicker, and due to the iron in their system, eventually become so stiff they can't move, until they get eaten during sex. Or something like that.
The exposition is rather lacking in this story, and all explanation comes towards the end of the issue. It's not a bad issue, but after the lengthy 'Julia' arc, I was looking forward to seeing something of modern-day Proof and friends.
The art, by Grine, is nice to look at in a Bone sort of way. In all, an okay issue, but I'd have rather read the one originally expected.
