This issue mostly feels like a connection between the end of the previous story arc and whatever comes next, giving the characters a little breathing room to talk to each other. Unfortunately, the people available to talk to are obnoxious Colony leaders. (And ugh, Kate's dad is awful.) Not sure where the twist at the end is going!

I feel like there's some backstory I'm supposed to know about with Colony Prime and Jacob Kane and how the former sees the latter as a father figure? And Kate Kane's messed up relationship with her father? I'm really not sure if I've missed something, or if it's just meant to be revealed in this way.
In any case, this issue has a powerful monologue about how Kate's past has formed who she is today.

This one was more coherent, and the flashbacks started to make more contextual sense. A couple of interesting new characters showed up. And Kate got to use some cool tech to escape!
