Comments: Shaft, Badrock, a PR guy, and Strongarm all have a conversation in the super villain jail. So nothing much happens here except for talking, and that is not about anything important or with meaning to the story.
Next, we focus on Prophe; he does a lot of talking, and not much fighting takes place before we see him. He is in a dramatic pose as he lets the reader know how great a fighter he is. It would be nice to see it illustrated, though.
Two aliens are arguing about killing a traitor. What does this have to do with anything?
A press conference is a little fun with reporters asking questions.
At the jail for super villains, there is a jail break. First, we see Slowdown, and she is a killer and illustrated in a simple costume that makes her look sexy. Shaft, Chapel, and Badrock burst in and start a battle with Slowdown. A swarm of ninjas, and they offer next to no challenge for Youngblood.
Diehard calls Sh after, and it’s another emergency. No idea is given as to what it is. Plus, the battle already going on is just forgotten.
Shaft fighting Slowdown is amusing, it starts to get interesting, and then it’s over. As is this issue.
