This issue of The Massive is a little different from the previous few months worth. To begin with, Callum Israel sets his priorities back to finding and reuniting with The Massive, the sister ship to his Kapital, and the flagship of the Ninth Wave fleet. When more ghostly radar hits suggest that the ship is nearby, tensions break out on the ship.
After the apparent suicide of one crew member, others decide that they want to leave Ninth Wave and return to their homelands, all of which are suffering in the post-Crash environment. Three desperate crewmen even go so far as to hold Israel at gunpoint in his cabin.
Brian Wood returns to the habit he had during the first story arc of peppering the story with explanations of what has been happening in the rest of the world since the Crash took place. This month, the focus is mostly on South America.
The art this month is by Gary Erskine, although I probably wouldn't have recognized it as his. He's usually known for drawing, well, ugly characters, but in this issue, his art has softened quite a bit. That kind of surprised me.
