Jack is attacked on the street by a large stranger named Mark, but Jen hulks out and defends him (physically, not lawyerly). They get dinner at a kind of romantic-y restaurant, though Jack is still wearing Jen’s old clothes. (How many days has it been? Jen has gone to work and come home at least once. You’d think they could get him some clothes that fit him.) Jen breaks a heel and trips and is helped up by an old woman - another reminder that Jack is (or was?) too powerful to even touch another person. Later, Jen goes to the park and spies on Mark and his wife April.

Kind of blah, but nice that the action picked up right from last episode’s cliffhanger. Classic comic book stuff! I think if I had read this as a 5-issue volume 1 I would have ended up just as frustrated as I was with most of the individual issues. Not a lot happened and I, a person with very limited prior knowledge, still don’t know who Jack of Hearts is or what happened to him. ( )
