Well, damn! This is definitely heavier content than I'm used to from this series. I'm not sure how it successfully made the transition from gallows humour to social commentary to a touching ending (and then the cliffhanger about Damian's mom's inner monologue, whaaat?) but considering this series has consistently delivered humour, violence and sweet family moments, this is really just kicking those components up a notch. 
Just so nobody who would find the content triggering goes in unawares: the multi issue plot in this volume is a bunch of children made hostages on school buses, two end up with bombs strapped to them, their lives are threatened multiple times, there are guns, and the backstory for one of the hostage takers involves the death of his daughter. Ye be warned!
