The facial expressions show the grief and anger she feels, countered by Jack realizing what this moment represents not only to her, but himself as well. The conversation with Hodag’s mother delivers on the emotional impact they both share with his loss. Excellent panel shot of the “welcome to Farmington” Third-Gen weathered image as Jack looks up to see himself in the past. Readers bare witness to the dread of Jack dealing with the fallout from Hodag’s death. The art perfectly captures Jack’s tiredness of the post-superhero life. This will pay off big when readers get the huge reveal about Jack building within the series. The flip-book portion serves its’ purpose giving more insight onto what really happened in the past.

The small nods to Image’s past (such as the TV shows page ala early Spawn), were noteworthy as there is much more to Jack than readers might be ready to find out. Its’ a well-timed pace changer that has a bigger after effect than anyone can fathom. It will surprise some readers but its’ message is very straight-forward. The strongest portion of this issue falls at the conversation between Jack and Hodag’s mother. The banter between Jack and Officer Buckolz was a fun play as it established both characters while setting up for more in the future. Excellent flip-book companion portion to give some noteworthy elements to the overall story.īREAKDOWN: Fleecs & Seeley continue to slowly peel layers back into the mystery behind Jack’s firing from Third-Gen. Post-conversation, the final act steers plans into a new direction heading the story onward. How does that conversation go down? Is Jack ready for what lies ahead? Better yet, are the readers? The talk may throw some readers for a loop but at this stage, anything not “F*** CROSSJACK” for Jack is a win. That walk leads him to the doorstep of Hodag’s mother! Jack gets wise to his drone problem and makes a deal with it to monitor him while he takes his dog for a walk. Third-Gen has a watchful drone informing him that he broke copyright again by “helping” the police with Hodag’s death investigation". Returning home, Jack finds more than his disappointed father waiting for him. Jack is released but not without some parting shots from both, which readers will have much enjoyment with. Jack states that he was with Inga (The Chief’s wife) during the time of Hodag’s death. Chief Bucholz begins questioning Jack, but the alibi given is not going to make the Chief happy. Jack is very puzzled to what’s going on but seeing the pictures of Hodag brings a bit of shock to the fallen hero. This issue opens up with the police arriving to bring Jack in for questioning involving Hodag’s death.
What is a super-hero supposed to do when they can’t be a super-hero? Unfortunately, there appears to be even bigger concerns on the horizon as Hodag is brutally murdered inside his holding cell. Jack can’t even catch a break here when Third Gen shows up and gives him paperwork stating he violated copyright by engaging in super hero activities with Hodag. Hodag is arrested and taken to jail while Jack finds an old (and maybe his only) friend Inga to try making sense of everything. Jack thinks this is a trip down memory lane but Hodag is actually trying to relay a message with no avail. His former arch-enemy Hodag tracks him down. Never the less, Jack tries getting used to his “new normal” but can’t escape his past.
It is never a good sign when the most popular phrase in town is “F*** CROSSJACK”. Removed from the team, Jack returns home to Farmington disgraced and unwelcomed by the town (and even his own family).
