I know this is a preview issue but it is worth reviewing. It starts off with a man lying on the floor in a pool of his own blood as a gun is pressed to the side of his head. The story then flashbacks two weeks earlier. The same man is walking down the street being harassed by junkie prostitutes with a ten gallon gas can he's carrying. He walks into this seedy looking building lined with individuals who are strung out. He proceeds upstairs to a hovel of an apartment occupied by a man who is gagged and tied up lying in a bath tub. The man is struggling as he gets gasoline poured all over him. After they talk the man in the tub is given a cigarette to hold until it burns out. Otherwise he will light himself on fire. The story is so simple it is compelling followed by some amazing illustration by Greg Tocchini. Lets hope writer Rick Remender can keep the fans interested. It seems like there is something very worth while here when this title kicks off in November.
