Helen sees her past as Ankh Es En Amun. Her forbidden love with Imhotep and her eventual death due to a plague. He tries to restore her to life using the Scroll of Thoth but is prevented and, for his crime, is buried alive. Ankh Es En Amun speaks through Helen but the two wrestle for control of the body and Helen flees. Ankh Es En Amun tells Helen if she does not surrender control she will take it herself. Later, Helen wakes up... but it appears Ankh Es En Amun is finally in complete control.
This is the best issue so far. It is due to the more familiar elements one would associate with the Universal Mummy themes. Imhotep and the curse, attempting to bring Ankh Es En Amun back to life. This is what was missing from the first two issues. and, I can see some logic in wanting to slowly reveal the mystery over the course of three issues. But if you are a fan of Universal Monsters there is no mystery. You know, more or less, what to expect. So the two previous issues come off as time wasting. And they mostly paint Helen in an unsympathetic light.
six out of ten.
