*** Beware – spoilers may be found below ***
The mysteries have been piling up for 3 previous issues and while we get some of them answered, many of the answers are going to be left to reader interpretation. That could be a good or bad thing depending on your, uh, interpretation.
The story ends with the mysterious woman on the beach with the young scientist, one of the CIA agents, and Nicholas. One of them is not what he seems. If you’re looking for a totally satisfying happy ending, I didn’t find it… although it wasn’t a totally sad or terrible ending either. I have no doubt I will find more hints of what’s to come and things to like with each re-reading of the series. Then again, it could be one of those stories where the journey to the ending is more important than the ending itself. I guess it is all in how you interpret it.
