    The shit has hit the fan. Or rather The Spread has hit the fan. Fat Jack and his goons are ready to rumble (mostly Fat Jack though); Ravello and his army of sleazoids are slicing through the town; the diseased preacher and his diseased followers are spilling guts everywhere; No, Molly, and Hope are in the center of it all.

    While No hacks his way through Ravello's crew, Molly has trouble of her own with the preacher, who's got her cornered and about to take the little baby Hope away from her. Molly may be insane and childlike, but she understands what Hope can do to The Spead. Once Molly uses that power on the incoming preacher creatures, she reveals to everyone just what this little child means to the future: that she is their savior as well as the key to holding power over every living person. This baby can stop The Spread and now everyone wants her for whatever their own reason. The preacher's reasons the most heinous of all. Molly really fucked the pooch by showing No's trump card.

    This is an action-packed installment, with a ton of bloodshed and violent deaths. While the writing and the story are way up there on the scale of excellence, it's the artwork that makes this series as great as it is. Strahm's work is such that he's able to make the pages feel as though they themselves could be diseased, and especially those pages featuring the preacher. It's almost as if you can feel the fever burning off his skin, and can smell the pus dripping out of his pores. It's nasty stuff, and that's just one character. This is truly fantastic stuff. If this series follows the tried and true formula of six issue arcs then the trade paperback, then next issue's finale of the current story should be quite amazing.
