Please read the preceding reviews of issues 5 and 6 to catch up on the first two installments in this serial.
As we move into part 3 of this story, Diana is still hearing voices and has moved on to staking out the Middle Eastern terrorists she has been "hearing" at their nearby motel. The stakes are getting higher too as she continues to have ever more horrifying visions of nuclear disaster in Manhattan.
The two centerpieces of this issue are a confrontation with a strange armed intruder at the diner and a revealing encounter with law enforcement at police headquarters. Diana continues to be a compelling heroine and the plotting remains as gripping as ever but this installment feels like more of a necessary plot forwarder than the first two. Understandable - and it certainly plays well. But I have a feeling the payoff for this meticulous groundwork will certainly be worth it!
Art and lettering and coloring remain on par with previous issues (which is to be expected since the creative team is identical) and this continues to be a really strong series for Dynamite. I eagerly await part four and heartily recommend this title.
