Patterson, James and NaRae Lee. Maximum Ride, the Manga, Vol. 5. 2011. 240p. ISBN 9780759529700. Available in the graphic novels section of the library.
The battle between the two Max that started in Maximum Ride, Vol. 4 ends with a decisive victory for the real Max, and she leads the flock away after Gassy and Iggy's bomb explodes and partially destroy the facility. Back on the run, Max and the rest find themselves in the forest. ITEX leadership activates their plan to halve the world's population, and the flock's termination is ordered, much to Jeb's chagrin.
Traveling west, the flock reveals itself at a public event, confirming the rumors that have been circulating. The absence of Erasers is puzzling, however. Fissures emerge between Fang and Max, as Fang declares his need for a real home, instead of always running away. Max agrees to fly with Fang to Ella, whom she met earlier, to see if the tracker can be removed from her arm. This should slow ITEX down.
Meanwhile, the rest of the flock is attacked by mechanical Erasers, and they are captured and reunited with Jeb. Angel seems to have a change of heart, and now wishes harm on her siblings. Max and Fang are also captured, and Jeb reveals they have been slated for destruction ...
The story continues in Maximum Rive, the Manga, Vol. 6.
