The conclusion to this dizzying mystery unfolds in Clue #6. In the last issue, we learned that Dr. Orchid is Mr. Boddy’s daughter! But is he actually Mr. Boddy?

Miss Scarlett, Detective Ochre, Colonel Mustard, Mrs. Peacock, and Senator White are all dead. The cops have arrived to investigate the scene, and Detective Ochre has taken Mr. Green into custody as the prime suspect. Are the remaining players safe? Is this all about the Surobi Zinnia, or is there something else brewing?

The last issue of Clue was great. It fits the final pieces into place and wraps up the full story. Paul Allor did a great job crafting a miniseries with good twists and interesting characters. It was clear that he had fun with the last issue, infusing it with a nice joke about the suspects playing a game because of the ludicrous situation and weapons used on the victims. There were also a few nods to the movie adaptation that gave me a chuckle.

The art by Nelson Daniel was also well done. The contrasts are great – it’s colorful and fun or moody and mysterious – and the tone alternates between the inherent comedy and the genuinely scary situation of murder.

The only remaining questions is: can I get a clue for when the next murder mystery will be published?
