This title continues to impress, as Lemire continues to split the narrative between Gus, the human-animal hybrid boy, and Jeppard, the man who sold him to the Preserve.
Jeppard is wallowing in guilt, and hits bottom this issue, as he tries to provoke people into killing him. Gus meanwhile, ends up talking to Doctor Singh, the Mengele-like figure who has been carving up the other hybrid children. It seems that Singh is a more sympathetic character than originally thought, and is doing his work to try to reverse the strange disease that has been plaguing the world for eight years.
The revelation at the end of the book makes it clear that Gus has something to do with the disease, and helps structure the future of this series. As always, Lemire's art looks great, especially the way it's coloured by Jose Villarrubia.
