Comments: Diana has a meeting with Marion. Diana has a certain something about her. She comes across as someone always in control. 
  Marion has been abused way to much by men. Now here at this retreat something is now different. Something has chnaged in her. Two men try to abuse her and a horror story starts to unfold. Something very strange is going on here. 
  Wendy at the compound is not sure what she wants to do with her life. Diana is standing guard to make sure no men interfer with her compound. 
  The story does not explain itself fully as to what is going on yet it does keep throwing out clues. The way the story is being told it is as if revenge is going to play a huge part. Marion certainly physically has changed. What does this mean though? The mystery does draw you in.

Comments: Wendy goes looking for her sister Marion and maenwhile a couple armed guys are looking for her as well. Marion has become something else. 
  What is Wendy? What is her fate now. 
  What is this cult all about other then hating men. They do believe men are the root of all evil and that they should be punished. How though that is the question? What does this cult really do to those who join it. 
  Diana she is shown along with others dancing. She seems to want to empower other women. There is something out of the ordinary going on. 
  The art showing Marion transformed is weird. For the most part the art is just there and nothing stands out about it. The weirdness of the sisters is about the only thing that is eye catching. 
  This story has the feel of a horror comic yet you are not given a clue as to what is really going on here.
