    Finch's visit at the bee-keeper's house turns into a fight for his life as the old fart in the basement that lives among the bees lets some loose to chase down the investigator. But they chase the madman's grandson Roger at the same time, which wasn't something the kook had thought off. Another thing he wasn't expecting was the arrival of another visitor, one with leather gloves and who isn't happy with the bee-man.

    Finch of course makes his escape and ends up underground somewhere familiar before getting topside again, only to bump into familiar purple- (or is it pink-?) haired young lady. As to why Alice was in that spot at that moment, we do not know. But she has a phone so Finch calls the Internal Affairs lady who's been his shadow to come see what he found at the bee-keepers. Meanwhile, over at Sheriff Crane's place, she has a couple uninvited guests of her own, and one of them outright threatens her. The other visitor...not so sure what he's up to, but he certainly is less-than-conventional in the way he makes his social call.

    More mystery unfolds in the town of Buckaroo, more questions arise, and the introduction of a new character sets up the cliffhanger for the issue. Mr. Crowe has been the school bus driver for decades, bringing many of the blossoming serial killers to class year after year. But this day is different. This day he wakes up and makes a decision, not a very sound one, but a decision he feels is the right one for him to make. Maybe he should ask the children on his bus their opinion about it first. They might differ.

    Henderson's artwork continues to please, with his thin lines and fantastic facial expressions, and his execution on one scene in particular is the highlight of the issue. It's really the highlight of the last half dozen. You'll know it when you see it. It's great that Williamson brought this title back on track with where it was the first four or so issues. Installments like this one are good reminders as to what makes this such an entertaining series.
