The story blends homage with technological action themes. Risk stars in the next feature, navigating dangerous subway tunnels while investigating missing runaways. There he battles reptilian foes known as Sauriens, adding a creature-driven threat to the anthology. Downward Christian Soldier shifts the tone, following Christian in another morally charged and confrontational storyline, fully illustrated by Pop Mhan. The issue concludes with Beanworld – Chapter Six, in which Proffy collects the remnants of a mysterious alien being. Larry Marder’s singular style continues to contrast sharply with the rest of the book, offering a surreal and conceptual counterpart to the action-based stories.
