“We are Gathered Here Today–!” It was great seeing the original Officer Dragon in action. The art shows off his muscles and his partner Angel is a beautiful blonde superheroine.
Angel, Frank, Malcolm have had one twisted sex life and their kids will have you shaking your head at how they were born and from who.
As the cover shows there is a wedding and yes it is anything but normal. Lots of drama and surprises around every corner. This story also has topless females and sexual scenes so it is for a mature audience.

Jet and Rapture two members of the team realize it is a hopeless cause. Blue Jay, Grizzly, Flame Knight plus one more whose name is not mentioned and the leader of the team who is wearing a big maple leaf costume. The team are not used much in this short story. It is so short you do not get to learn much about anything or anyone.
