Previously in Chapter Nine of The Prisoner graphic novel, Rebecca realizes that The Village is all in her mind and that Summakor is responsible for creating the pill that takes you there. She is told by a dissenting underground faction that there is a "dreamer" who is dreaming The Village and that she must kill her in order to set her sister and herself free. In Chapter Ten, Dr. Caleb shatters some of these theories with one simple truth, which he reveals about the twin sisters. Read the final chapter now to find out how it all ends.
Pickwoad will face two competitors for this year's award: Kalina Ivanov (HBO's Grey Gardens) and Yuda Acco (Cartoon Network's Ben 10: Alien Swarm). The awards will be presented during a ceremony at the International Ballroom of the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, CA on Sat., Feb. 13.
