But here’s what I love about all of this, because I know we’re going to get back to dealing with major plot point and emotional story arcs in the next issue: What I love is that creators Williamson and Henderson are full on embracing their inner weirdness. There’s some imagery in this issue that I’m just like, “Whaaaaaat are you two doing?” It’s so weird that it gets a genuine laugh out of me.

We’re meant to believe that a big chunk of this issue isn’t happening, but that also makes me wonder, “What parts did happen?” That will be a bigger clue as to what’s about to happen.

The general story is that all of the heroes and anti-heroes of the first series have been drawn into a game, much like the game I used to play in high school called Assassin. Only if we were playing Assassin like this young enthusiast group of unknown players is playing their game of Serial Killer, there would be a lot more bodies. That’s right, all of the famous serial killers from Buckaroo are back, but who’s behind this point-driven massacre? Some flashbacks to when the game was first started by our Nailbiter/police officer ex-husband and wife pairing may give us an answer. I’ll be staying tuned!
