Cerebus #54

The Countess gives Cerebus a rundown of her history with the Roach. This mostly consists of her nursing him back to health between his various personas. Weishaupt makes his return to the book and reveals that he's finally formed the United Feldwar States/ He offers Cerebus back his job as Prime Minister but  Cerebus declines. Weishaupt also describes the function of the Wolveroach. He's going to keep the governments of the Feldwar States in line by murdering people that get too ambitious.

It seems we have our new direction as the political climate in the region is rapidly changing. Weishaupt seems to have all of his ducks in a row and rather quickly. The real question is, will Cerebus be going along for the ride or will he stick to his guns and stay out of government. Well... we all know he's going to get sucked into this somehow. There wouldn't be a story otherwise.

It was interesting to see the Roach licking his wounds between personas in this issue. It pulled back the curtain on him a bit and somehow revealed an even more disturbed mind than the one we thought we knew. The Countess also seems to only be out for amusing herself by any means necessary.

Until next time!
