The third volume of Gail Simone's Clean Room cleans everything up -- more or less, though one shouldn't get too strict about the definition of "clean up" here. The world's definitely a mess at the end, and the book doesn't chart the recovery, or even really the recovery of the main characters, just the very beginnings of it. Assuming that Chloe ever does recover.
There's plenty of gore and creepiness, as you'd expect from this series, now including a creepy, creepy baby.
I would say that I didn't quite understand Astrid's behaviour throughout the book; part of it seemed inconsistent and left me with definite questions about what was going through her mind, which weren't really answered. And it felt like things were resolved very quickly, as if the story had to be jammed into this final volume -- it made Astrid's solution feel a little too easy.
Still, a fun series, especially if you're more into horror than I am!
