| Description:
Generation X decide to go in search of the House
of Correction, meanwhile Jonathan Somers is being
processed through that same institution. He is
subjected to a series of bizarre tests, sees the
guards deal with an escape attempt in a deadly
manner and eventually meets Warden Coffin; the
head of the prison/'correction centre'. GenX are
trying to find the HoC by following the trail of
the most recent kid to disappear, Jonathan Somers.
They arrive at his high school and the girls (Husk,
Jubilee and M) go in search of information,
leaving the boys in the car. While searching
through a filing cabinet, M displays some
hitherto unseen superspeed capabilities. Back on
the road Paige uses the information in the
Jonathan Somers folder, to find the location of
the HoC via her handheld computer. Comments:
This issue was brilliant. The art looks much
better than it did last issue, and the GenXer's
come across as real teenagers. The House of
Correction is creepy, especially the guards and
their lack of emotion. There are some great lines
this issue and I loved it when Jubilee hit on the
driver. Whatever doubts I had about the direction
of this book with issue #63 are now gone. If they
could just get the person who colours the cover
to do the interiors as well I'd be content.
