By Ed Brubaker (writer), Butch Guice & Luke Ross (artists), Dean White (colorist) Although we’ll never know whose bright idea it was to release this one shot before the last issue of ‘Reborn’, I suppose I should thank them nonetheless for saving me the $3.99 to find out how that story ends, since this comic [...]
