Story: During the corporate raid, Jinx and Scarlett exchange some code phrases. Storm Shadow leads the rest of the clan to another floor looking for their weapon while Jinx and Scarlett are able to finally catch up as they make their way to a different floor. Jinx believes that maybe the Arashikage could be an ally against the new threat: Cobra. They eventually find the treasure and some Cobra troops. Shadow joins in and he is able to retrieve the sword.
Writing: We get a good "catch up" issue here. Scarlett and Jinx finally get their moments to tell each other what's going on. The main meta-plot going on right now doesn't move too much though, some hints are put throughout these issues along with leaving on a good cliffhanger.
Art: This issue does have many cool fight scenes but we also get a page or two of Jinx and Scarlett just standing around and talking. However the fight scenes are nicely done.
Overall: This feels like we've been waiting for it to happen now for a couple issues, the Scarlett and Jinx official face to face. It's also incorporating the larger Energon Universe into the story (with Cobra). I enjoyed this issue because I've been waiting for the two of them to finally talk and it was nice to see some possible foreshadowing as well. Sometimes you just need to foreshadow possible events.
