The Discipline, Issue #4 to Issue #6 finishes the six-issue story. At the end of Issue #3, Bliss had turned into a Stalker and held Melissa captive. In Issue #4, the two fight; you can guess who wins. Melissa is, of course, the main character and on the cover of every issue so far. Issue #5 sees Melissa go on her first assignment to Rome. There she is on the trail of a Stalker. There is also a flashback to the Roman Empire. Issue #6 directly concludes Issue #5 and the series, or at least it finishes "Chapter One: The Seduction."
This is a very dark series, a gruesome series, full of graphic sex and violence. I like it. An interesting subplot in The Discipline is class warfare. The Stalkers proclaim to be working-class, while the Discipline is decidedly uppercrust. I don't know if there will be a Chapter Two, reading the last half of the first chapter, I'm reminded of what I liked about the first half of the first chapter.
