Spoiler
As far as we know when finishing up this volume the small town of Archers Peak has successfully fought to survive and rid their community of the killing monstersWill this town ever reach some kind of normalcy again?
I hope we continue to follow our main characters in the next volume and we find out how they cope in the wake of tragedy.
