Longshot #3

Nov 1985 · Marvel · 0.75 USD; 1.00 CAD; 0.50 GBP
“Just Let Me Die”

In "Just Let Me Die," Longshot faces a pivotal moment when a desperate man’s final act forces him to confront his own past and make a reckless choice. Written by Ann Nocenti and brought to life with dynamic art by Arthur Adams—whose cover captures the issue’s raw intensity—this story sees Longshot dive into Con Edison’s heart, where flickering lights spark forgotten memories and a city plunges into darkness. As allies turn to enemies and a portal opens to another world, Longshot stands alone, the weight of choices he can’t undo pressing down.

Theo leaps from a bridge to his death. He lands on Longshot and tells Longshot his everyday including that Con Edison rips him off. Longshot decides to break into Con Ed and steal diamonds to pay Theo back. They make it into the power plant and the wires and machinery spark a few of Longshot's memories. They get the diamonds but are attacked by Spiral, Gog and their allies. The machinery gets destroyed and blacks out all of New York. Spiral opens a portal back to her home world. Magog reveals himself to be Longshot's enemy, intent on killing him. Jinx returns home, leaving Longshot alone.
