Sirens Gate #3 moves reveals some secrets to Tara's story as we head to the conclusion! The mysterious woman with glowing eyes and black hood is about to be revealed as she pulls back the hood with her black gloves in the cover by creator Shannon Maer! Last issue, Tara was stabbed by Commander Rein and then she is caught between a battle between Rein and mystery woman. We see all of this as the scene in rain is witnessed by Maya and Michael in a splash page. Tara begins to pull the knife from her torso. Rein with hands aflame says she can’t be protected. In a splash page, we see Tara looking at her reflection, her eyes glowing blue, and blood trickling from the knife. A strangely beautiful image. She looks up and then in a double splash page she reaches out and her power bursts the pavement and knocks back Rein and the woman! She falls and Maya asks about her as Michael holds Tara.
He says her knife wound is gone! I don't think Tara can die from any kind of wound. There is just blood from the wound and then we see the masked woman, another splash page as Tara asks about her identity. The woman pulls back her hood and reveals her face. Tara is excited that it is Lady Rose, novelist who was seen in the first issue, who is the employer of Michael. Lady Rose knows about Maya and also knew her grandmother who was a witch. Maya brings up the prophecy connected to Tara. Lady Rose tells Tara about the dawn of a New Age and “Death shall walk the earth.” Maya explains that Tara had died and returned. As they drive from the scene, Maya says that Tara is “a mortal - born of Death.” The concept is fascinating. A splash page as we see Lady Rose in her black evening dress tell Michael, tolding an umbrella over her, take Maya home while she talks with Tara.
Maya is impressed at Lady Rose’s powers and she asks if Michael knew about the powers. He admits he didn’t know about them. Splash page, Maya in her black and pink outift, is ready to get smoothies and Michael reminds her that he has to walk her back home. A double page splash has Lady Rose and then we see Tara in the inside of the limo. Lady Rose tells Tara that she would be called a sorceress “a long time ago.” Tara wonders about her involvement in a prophecy that would bring the end of the world! Lady Rose adds that a prophecy is only a possibility. I do like the slowing down of the supernatural or action scenes to develop the story and characters. Tara hopes to get back to her apartment, but Lady Rose says she should be her guest at the mansion. She should be cleaned up with the blood still on her torso and Lady Rose says that she will have a new change of clothes. Maya is suprised that Lady Rose knew her grandmother. Michael senses something and appearing on the street is a dark haired womn, Ravyn, who has brought two werewolves!
