NOTES OF INTEREST: This issue was released with two covers - a standard cover and a sketch cover. This comic is an example of the sketch cover. The cover art is a parody of Action Comics #1 – the famous first appearance of Superman.

ISSUE SYNOPSIS: Untitled

As Jim seeks a new direction for his troubled life, he is unaware of the true danger he represents to those closest to him. Marc has become embroiled in a deadly game of intrigue with a CIA unit tasked with keeping Jim’s past a secret, which leads to increased paranoia and further neglect of Susan. Susan, ultimately, turns to a final, fatal act of desperation to solve her issues of loneliness. Sara’s faith is being tested like never before – is Jim truly a savior or is he something much, much worse? Meanwhile, Clown has had his new toys – Jim and the increasingly powerful K7-Leetha – taken from him and makes a desperate maneuver of his own, as he places the last remaining piece of Malebolgia’s earthly power within Sara for safe keeping.

REFLECTIONS: For some reason, this particular variant was rather difficult to find in this particular condition. One of my contacts described “spine problems” from the factory. The black border around the cover also contributed to the difficulty of finding high grade copies of this variant.

CENSUS REPORT: Tied for top census copy as of 6/13
