Synopsis
Most of the issue takes place over a matter of seconds, as Cerebus breaks through the church window. At that same instant strange events occur all over Iest. Astoria, Bran (whose body still lies in the hotel), Jaka, and Bear experience the event in different ways. Blakely witnesses the most spectacular event of all, the rapidly growing tower breaking off and beginning to rise into the air. Cerebus manages to hitch a ride on the outside of the tower.

Annotations
- In the two-page spread at the end of the issue, you get a good view of the Upper City, with the Regency Hotel on the left, and the Church on the right.
- Dave uses text (instead of word balloons) to tell the story in this issue. The text comes from the point of view of a neutral narrator.
- Dave also makes the art revolve 360 degrees during the issue.
