Dealing with the fallout of the events of the previous volume when one of the world's most powerful Powers went nuts and destroyed a few cities this is an odd volume.There're two distinct threads running through it. One is the arrival of a new Retro-Girl and the other is the return to work of Pilgrim after her not near but actual death experience in the last vol.
The appearance of the new Retro-Girl ignites all the newly retired (by presidential decree) hero powers to return and sort out the new powered up gang warfare that has erupted in their absence.
Deena gets caught up in the war early on and is tortured by one of the players. This torturing brings on Powers of her own and she manages to bust free.
It's a fun volume but a little on the slight side. It didn't seem to take very long to read but I didn't really clock the time. The whole thing feels like a set up for something bigger.
I like this series.
