2. “On the Right Track”

Writers: Rob Schrab & Mondy Carter
Artist: Rob Schrab

For our next issue, we get more premise set up.

Scud needs work in order to pay Jeff's medical bills so he tries to hire himself out. Scud gets a job working for the mob, who want him to sneak into a prison and assassinate a terrorist who's stuck there for blowing up the Don's daughter. Scud nails the infiltration and guns the guy down, but he's shot through the hand and chest in his escape.

Which seems to cause something to"¦ snap within him. And that's where we check out of the issue. We get some more key info here: Scud is now working for the mob, he can take gunfire, but laser fire damages him, and he can feel pain and suffer psychological damage. As well, he can take a good amount of punishment and keep on ticking.

It's a solid second issue but we're still waiting for the book to really find its own voice.
