Kurt Busiek's Astro City: Confession #[nn]
In "New Kid in Town," newcomer Brian Kinney makes his mark in Astro City by landing a job at the upscale Butler's, after a rough start at the more rowdy Bruiser's. When the chaotic Glue-Gun crashes through the skylight and turns the restaurant into a hostage situation, Brian’s quick thinking earns him more than just a few bruises—his actions catch the eye of the Confessor. Written by Kurt Busiek and illustrated by Brent Eric Anderson, with inks by Will Blyberg, colors by Alex Sinclair, and letters by John Roshell, this issue features a striking cover by Alex Ross.

Brian Kinney arrives in Astro City and finds a job at Bruiser's, a bar "costumes" frequent. The owner, seeing something more in Brian, helps him get a job at a classier place, Butler's. When Glue-Gun crashes through the skylight there and tries to make Brian a hostage, Brian knocks him out, drawing the ire of his fellow busboys, but also the attention of the Confessor.
