Madame Dufort reveals herself to really be Charles X. Claremont and his apocalypse beast known as Woman Thing (Man Thing satire). Claremont has been using the girls to channel power for his monster. He originally tried with boys but had little success.
This issue yet again had Cerebus laid up and playing cards with the girls for most of the issue. The girls naive ways clash with the cynicism of Cerebus as the games progress. Theresa mentions that Cerebus has obviously saved thousands of women and Cerebus mentions he used one for a shield once.
They also recount tales about Lord Julius and Elrod where it was obvious that Cerebus actually did the work.
This arc is a little more subdued than some of the previous ones. I think the next issue is going to have some big things with Woman Thing hitting the scene. I'm really excited to see how things play out in the conclusion to this story.
Until next time!
