Poison - Part 4
By Greg Rucka, Michael Lark, Tyler Boss, Santi Arcas, Jodi Wynne, Owen Freeman, Eric Trautmann, David Brothers
Johanna has a chance meeting with Arthur. He fills her in as to what is going on and suggests that she should be the one in charge. He even has a plan to get Stephen to step aside.
Corporal Casey Solomon’s team moves ahead with the plan to take out Hock’s anti-aircraft guns. Pineda, the new guy, is called on to disguise himself as a Hock soldier.
Johanna talks Rihan, Stephen’s boyfriend, into doing something for her. She calls security once she is done talking to Rihan and, soon after that, Marisol confronts and kills Mason.
Pineda sneaks around behind the Hock troops while the others provide a distraction. He gets the job done but then the team is beset by Hock troops. Solomon’s squad is saved at the last minute by Forever who shows up in a Hock tank.
Thoughts
It isn’t explicitly clear but I’m pretty sure that Johanna turned her back on Mason for the last time. She thinks she has found a better course of action than her previous one. She isn’t counting on her father recovering. I’ve got a feeling he will but I’m not sure what he is going to think or know when he does wake up.
I don’t think that Marisol is aware that she was manipulated by Johanna into confronting and killing Mason. I’m not sure what’s next for Forever and Corporal Solomon’s team. My guess is that the last chapter in this arc is focused on the efforts to heal Malcolm. What will happen if Johanna is able to take control?
