American Virgin #9 *Spoilers*

**Mr. Palmer** · 11-30-2006, 10:07 AM

After some hesitations regarding Mel The Hitman, Adam hunts down his murderous S&M foe. Along the way, he learns that Mel is after the same man because he killed his sister.

Adam shrugs it off and has a fight with S&M, which ends up with the killer on his knees, begging for his death from the sword in Adam's hands. However, Mel bursts in and kills him before Adam can deliver the killing blow.

With his work now finished, Adam and his sister head for home. Their plane trip, though, ends up with them crashing into the ocean...

The only thing I didn't like about this issue is that the cliffhanger from last issue was just swept under the rug. I wanted to see Adam squirm a bit more...

I also found myself saying aloud that I didn't want Adam to kill the S&M monster. I've always liked the character, but never truly knew how much I have invested him. I can dig that.

Be interesting, since the next arc is title "Wet", what's going to go down aboard the crashed plane...

The whole being caught in the gay club thing might not be over. He's back in FL now, or maybe he isn't, it depends on that plane crash thing. So he might still have to squirm.

I was sad to see the S&M guy go also, but the head shot was pretty cool. It might have been better for adam to kill the guy and then have to deal with that.

I'm glad mel is gone, at least it seems he is, his character was getting pretty stale and revealing that he was involved with adam because of his sister was the nail in the coffin for me. I always hoped he was part of the internet S&M murder ring.

It's interesting that the new story line is open to pretty much anything happening. Hopefully it will have some supporting characters that i can actually be interested in. Besides the S&M guy they have been pretty flat.

Not a great issue. The "outed" Jesus freak is a far more interesting conflict than anything we got here.

And a very cliched resolution of the conflict. As soon as Mel was hit on the head, I thought, aw please don't have this guy come in at the last second and save the day, but of course, he does.
