The White Suits #4 is the conclusion to the gripping series and picks up with the White Suits defeating Prizrak and Sarah’s ambush and then kidnapping them. Sarah doesn’t have a clue where she’s being led nor does it make her feel better when she’s informed her captors already know she’s with the FBI and it doesn’t concern them. The one holding her, Donald Baker, knows exactly who she is and once worked with her father before killing him. Knowing she has been searching for answers for some time he tells her that he’ll give her all the answers she’s been seeking and why he believes his role is more important than ever. He explains to her the history of the White Suits and how they were created, and his motive now is retribution. When the world changed the White Suits became expendable, and he’s seeking to right that perceived wrong. Meanwhile, Prizrak is being taunted by Darabont, and even though he told Prizrak at the end of last issue that it wasn’t their time for a final confrontation, it was only so he could tell Prizrak the truth of who he was first. The revelation leaves Prizrak reeling, however that was also part of Darabont’s plan because he intends to beat Prizrak to death with his bare hands in one final fight. Prizrak and Sarah have searched for the truth from the beginning, and that led to their partnership but it seems as if that very truth will be responsible for their deaths.
SUMMARY
The White Suits #4 is an utterly satisfying conclusion to the thrilling series and all questions are answered as characters and events come full circle. The series started with characters who were anything but one-dimensional and it stays true to that as the character development from the beginning of this series to its conclusion is remarkable, and Prizrak and Sarah become truly memorable characters. I highly recommend White Suits because it never shies away from its material and it’s a riveting tale about espionage, redemption and truth, and it ranks up there with some of the best tales born out of the Cold War and its consequences.
