Paxton is on the road to find more medicine for the youngest of his children and the oldest, Bec, is left in charge back at home. This second issue opens to the aftermath of a Wave, a frightening phenomenon that has become a natural occurrence: a sort of frenzy where you lose your mind temporary and act out of your worst impulses and, perhaps, desires. This cover is a brilliant reminder of how possessed Bec looked last issue startling the hell out of me.

What follows are a few pages of the siblings taking care of each other, securing home, and we see a glimpse of the sibling dynamic between them. I really like when writers take the time to write in small moments like this that help build up relationships and bring depth to the characters.

So, Pops is on the road, as we saw in the last issue…he is apparently…
