June adds another head to her basket. Afterwards, she presses them for more info on what’s really going on and what they think could be on this mysterious tape they don’t want anyone hearing. But by the end, June finds herself in the most trouble she has been in through this whole series.

Really enjoyed this issue and I can't wait to see how it ends. Great story development and pacing!

The basket gets another head! After cutting her thumb off in a true bad-ass moment, June cuts off Hank’s head and adds it to her basket (which must be getting a little heavy and rather gross at this point). I like the different perspectives and attitudes the talking heads have as they explain the events of what happened. It was clear and entertaining.

Liam is so close to being rescued, but unfortunately, Hank used his code word with his dad, and he was there when June tried to save Liam. I like June’s character. She’s hardcore and is full of surprises. I’m curious how this series will end; it’s done a fantastic job of continuing to have a great 1980s horror feel to it. I can’t help but wonder if there is still more to Liam that the reader doesn’t necessarily know. Maybe we will find out in the next issue?

This issue was such a thrill!
We get a ton of information about what was going on between the dirty cops, our heroines' love interest and the rest of the people involved in the great scheme.
I think the artist outdid himself with the art on this one, and the writer shot the stakes through the roof!
I need issue #7 immediately! Damn virus, no idea when our local comic book store will get the next supply :(

Pořád stejný, pořád dobrý. Čte se to prostě dobře, kresba je super, barvy a atmosféra taky. June přitvrzuje a je mi čím dál víc sympatická. Na téhle sérii mám nejradši ti konverzace s hlavami a to jak jsou nakreslené důležité scény. Ty oči než June sekne, výrazy tváří atd.

I don't know why but I really thought issue six was the finale... it's not, but it has enough revelations and straight out explanations that it will lead to a satisfactory ending... though the cliffhanger made me need the next issue right away!

[Craig Schorling]

More story developments and a cliffhanger ending. June is one of my favorite characters in a comic in a long time. She is caring, tough, and gets things done when they need to get done. I look forward to seeing how her story ends.

[Henry Acuña]

[Michelle]

This ended up being so bad ass and exciting with lots of twists to the plot. Engrossing read. Can't wait for more!!

[Avi Alany]

Really comic comic.

[Steven]

I love stories like this! I really hope this gets made into a Netflix or Shutter film.

[Mel]

This has been so well done, and now it's closing in for the kill!

[John]

June finally gets to Liam but before they can escape chaos ensues.

[Jessica]

5 Stars! ★★★★★
Wow. Just when you think you know what’s going to happen...

[Kay ☾]

The pacing is A1. The next issue is the last one but I do not want it to be over!

[Steven Shinder]

Secrets come out, and I'm curious to see how this ends.

[Roman Colombo]

This series is so messed up it's brilliant.

[Francesca Giardiello]

Suspance alle stelle, fiato sospeso pronti per l'ultimo issue da leggere. Il modo in cui trama e azione vengono narrate e illustrate, è scorrevole, agile, coinvolgente.

[Shreks Cumdump]

I think somehow her boyfriends head gonna end up in the basket. Maybe even to save him from a fatal wound lol. Lollipop Chainsaw style

[Aryanna Tunstall]

The twists and turns this series took was completely unexpected. By the end I felt just as gutted as most of the characters.
