Declan and Reece have been an item since he saved her from Nimble Jack and today is the day she brings Declan into her work. She's employed at an hospital for mental illness and he has the ability to take the insanity away from them. His temperature drops when he does it, but so long as he maintains a certain temp or higher, things will be ok. At the hospital he works his magic, miraculously curing some patients before calling it a day.
While that's all happening, on the streets of Boston walks a man with a peculiar fetish: collecting human fingers. Age and race is of no consequence, as he hacks off any and all fingers when the mood hits him. Certainly not by chance, this finger man passes by the love birds Reece and Declan as they make their way home from the institution and makes it obvious he knows who Declan is, even if the familiarity isn't a mutual thing. After they pass, finger guy, who soon reveals his name to be Swivel, displays another thing he likes to do and it isn't any prettier than his hacking off fingers. And speaking of fingers, it seems he does more than just collect them. This is a very, VERY strange being.
The two creators, Tobin and Ferreyra, have more than proven the excellence that results from their collaborations, and it's great to have them back on the Colder story and characters. Already fleshed out, Declan and Reece pick up right where they left off in the first series, and the only new character of focus is this bizarre thing that calls itself Swivel. Tobin's ideas are trippy and Ferreyra's artwork is simply beautiful even at its most nightmarish. From start to finish, issue #1 of the new series is firing on all pistons and comes recommended.
