“The Innocents - Part Three”

In "The Innocents - Part Three," Wee Hughie pushes deeper into Super Duper’s ranks, secretly planting bugs for Butcher while navigating the growing tension with Starlight, who wrestles with whether to reveal the truth about herself. Meanwhile, Malchemical schemes his revenge on Auntie Sis, and Mother's Milk quietly pursues his own agenda. Written by Garth Ennis and illustrated by Darick Robertson with Richard P. Clark, this issue delivers sharp, grounded tension in a world where trust is currency and loyalty is a liability. The cover by Darick Robertson captures the uneasy atmosphere with a stark, character-driven composition.
