*sigh* The artwork. Superb. Love this as much as the Descender series. Damn those cliff-hangers though.

The Dead Sea is a combination of Mila's flight across the sea with Telsa and Helda, the sudden pickle Mother finds themselves in, as well as Andy reuniting with Mila's mother. All of that is mixed together with flashbacks to the Descender series.

 A lot is packed in here. Character development for Tesla & "Mother," plot development, as well as just piecing together what the hell happened in the last ten years.

Lovely art by Nguyen.

It continues to be one of my favorite series to follow from year to year.
