Although Josephine’s memory may not have returned, by the end of the issue she will realize just how much power over men, and their life and death, she possesses.

Writer Ed Brubaker continues to gather the storm clouds as well as Josephine’s unsheilded presence comes to the attention of not one but two separate enemies both obsessed with finding her. A really strong issue with great use of foreboding and more top notch art from Sean Phillips. Worth a look.
