dark mysterious fast-paced

2.0

On the bright side, this issue contains the high point of the storytelling so far: Jessica's recollection of growing up while psychic, and the strain it put on her parents - ordinary people who could never have the smallest secret from her. It's the kind of quiet emotional core that's really been missing from the series thus far. On the other hand, it's wasted within the wider story, which promptly falls back into the deeply irritating "here's someone who can explain what's going on but doesn't" trope, which is making this already quite short series feel dragged out and full of waffle. Kill them all at this point, because I've simply stopped caring about this so-called mystery.
