The Bunker #3
Released by: Oni Press
Released on: Apr. 07, 2014
This issue focuses solely on the present-day events that will make Grady into a national hero and Heidi famous for documenting his actions. But told solely from Heidi's perspective, the story unfolds in much more damning, perilous ways…
The bomb has exploded downtown San Francisco and Grady rushes in to save its victims. Heidi responds by snapping photos and remembering how she and Grady met as children. To Heidi, she contextualizes this by trying to remember when she was ever happy and that seemed to be the time, when she dressed as a Pink Power Ranger and encountered the new kid dressed as a Red one. That was Grady, nervous and scared, especially after Heidi's brother Billy yells at Grady for being on his bike.
The two boys bond over a prank soon thereafter, though, and while they laugh all Heidi can recall is how that attitude managed to distance and abandon her. Soon after these events is when she began to get molested by her uncle and, flashing between the explosion's aftermath and those childhood days, she wonders if she ever truly was happy and how much she hated everyone around her for abandoning her, leaving her alone with that monster.
The piece of evidence she herself received in The Bunker was a letter from her future self, detailing the address of her uncle at her present time. Heidi's realization of what's happened to her and how she reacted by cutting off feelings and trying to perfect her art of photography tie up into her realizing its all a big lie - especially after Grady drops his own evidence behind, showing that he knew all along that bomb was going to explode, that he'd become a hero (and, later, President) and that she would document that. Refusing to play a part in yet another monster's schemes, she walks away, anonymously, setting her sights instead on confronting that uncle…
This series continues its outstanding examination of fate and destiny but perhaps most sharply in this issue. Heidi's struggles aren't exploitative but sincere and honest and that's all thanks to Joshua Hale Fialkov's outstanding storytelling. Joe Infurnari's artwork becomes much more focused in this issue, too, visually aiding the clarity that the characters (and the story overall) achieves at this point. Another outstanding issue in this great series.Posting comments is disabled.
