Reactions and Reviews
In this pleasant, insightful 4th season zine, V begins to emerge from the fog of grief over C's death, helped by Diana's insistence on helping him think and talk about C-something everyone else Below has strictly avoided. D also delivers to him C's personal possessions the police had held, including C's secret diary, whose contents finally allow V to find peace with himself again. He then notices how very little he knows of D, who proves to have had a nightmare childhood that makes her shy and doubtful of her self-worth. Compassionate V helps her overcome these problems, then is troubled that she has no one to love her. Despite Father's doubts about V's motivations, V sets up, without D's knowledge, what proves an amusingly out-of-sync blind date for her...with Joe Maxwell. Although a first zine, Healing, Above and Below displays confident, well-paced storytelling, good insights into character, and a variety of intriguing incidents effectively presented. Those interested in 4th season speculations and explorations will enjoy it. The handsome cover art (a b/w portrait of Vincent) is by Russell Hicks, senior Art Director at the Walt Disney Company.[1]
