The Many Adventures of Miranda Mercury #295
In "The Riddle of Rebel Ronin!", Miranda Mercury holds the key to an ancient, imprisoned entity within a mysterious puzzle device, and with Jack's help, they must navigate its enigmatic mechanics to free Rebel Ronin—only to face a choice that could change everything. Written by Brandon Thomas and brought to life by Lee Ferguson’s art, Marc Deering’s inks, Felix Serrano’s colors, and Matty Ryan’s lettering, this 2008 Archaia Studios Press issue delivers a tense, emotionally charged moment where sacrifice and hope collide. The cover by Lee Ferguson and Marc Deering captures the puzzle’s eerie allure, setting the stage for a story where the greatest riddle may not be the device itself, but what one person is willing to give up to save another.

Miranda captures the puzzle device containing Rebel Ronin and Jack helps her devise a means to release the being within, which will allow them to place Rebel Ronin in their debt to make one request. Jack intends to be the one in Rebel Ronin's favour so he can ask the all-powerful being to cure Miranda from the disease which is slowly killing her, but Miranda makes the request and orders Rebel Ronin to refashion his puzzle to make it impossible to solve so that no one can exploit him again. Jack remains intent on saving Miranda's life.
