With quiet dignity, he transfers his powers to Donovan, setting a new chapter in motion.
In "I Fought Groout, the Creature Who Came from the Cracks in the Earth!", Joe Jones, inspired by a wild tale from Commodore Pasternak at the Megolopolis Explorers Club, ventures beyond the city’s edge and confronts Groout—a colossal being rising from the planet’s fissures with a hunger to conquer. As General Glory, Joe must stand against the earthbound threat, but the true nature of the monster and the depths of the danger remain shrouded in mystery.
In "Moolah" Murphy Goes Straight," Joe and Ernest find their radio interview with Mavis Morgan cut short by a surprising guest: the mobster Moolah Murphy, claiming he's ready to go straight. As General Glory and Ernie, the duo must uncover whether this sudden change of heart is genuine—or just another con.
In "The Power... and the Platitude!", the Wildbloods face their most unexpected challenge yet when they're tasked with thawing two World War II-era legends—General Glory and Ernie—from cryogenic stasis. Confused and disoriented, the veterans see the young heroes as enemies, and with tensions rising, the Wildbloods must find a way to bridge the gap between past and present before trust turns to tragedy.
