#40 is another beautifully written, character driven story with Ratchet taking the main stage, but we get some tiny and unfulfilling closure on Brainstorm's travels, as well as some steps forwards for other secondary characters.
Sadly this issue mostly concerns itself with setting up the utterly useless and unnecessary Drift: Empire of Stone. More happened here than in the whole four issues they let McCarthy waste. It also does not tie in well with the events we saw last week in Windblade #2 regarding First Aid.
Also some sneaky peaks into some other characters and a lovely trick regarding Rung that should stop a number of "insidious suspicions".
Art is wonderful, the mouths were the only disconcerting part for me, colours and lettering top notch as always.
And as an added bonus, there is a useful transformation, so even Gok will be happy!
