Jaka returns in this issue. Cerebus reveals that he remembers when he was in love with her now. You see a very different side of Cerebus in this issue as he shows genuine concern for the well being of Jaka. She spent her life's savings on an antique and leaves it with Cerebus. Cerebus opens the package to reveal his old sword.
This was a pretty emotional issue as Jaka and Cerebus has out their history with each other. Cerebus puts on a proud face but at the final moment you see his true feelings for Jaka. It's a sad moment as they part yet again and you feel that Cerebus' pride cost him the woman that he can't quite admit that he loves. This issue really shows how Cerebus has kind of lost his way in the political realm.
This was a really great issue. The final page came and I was absolutely shocked that I had read an entire issue. Out of the 36 Cerebus issues I've read so far, this was easily the best issue to date. It was powerful and emotional. There was a panel where they're both silent and looking away from each other and it was just an awesome scene to look at. I think the book has hit it's creative peak with this issue. I am extremely excited to read the next issue now.
Until next time!
