Being kidnapped is a major problem. Getting taken to a second location is a worse problem. Having the kidnapper be someone who’s already killed several other people, and who can easily get away with another murder? Yeah, that’s a definite complication. Also, ice cream, and Luke NOT reuniting with an old flame, and an unexpected liaison, and Joon desperately hoping to find the right string to wrap things up nicely, rather than the string that will break! Written by multiple Eisner-award winning Paul Tobin, and drawn by the amazing Carlos Javier Olivares!
