Richard Corben joins us this issue on pencils. We're delving into the never before revealed story of, the origin of Johnny Blaze. He's flashing back to when he was younger, and while traveling through this town, he was rousted for being an "unsavory type". Seems that someone in town was killed, but they have no clues as to who did it. So they're rounding up every stranger they can find. Anyways he ends up in jail with this hippy looking dude. He says he has a lawyer, so he's not worried. They finally get out, and Clay introduces him to Mr. Bedelstraum. I think he's Lucifer in disguise. But I could be wrong. Anyways, come to find out, Clay is loaded. So he offers Johnny his lawyers services, in return for a little white lie. He wants Johnny to be his alibi. I think Johnny senses that somethings wrong, but he goes along with it anyways. In for a penny, in for a pound, as they say. Anyways, Clay never does tell Johnny what he does, but as they're driving away in his limo, his license plate reads "HLSANGLS". I don't think it's a coincidence. Anyways, great book. Corben is on board for this 2 issue story arc. Then I guess Texiera and Saltares will be back. And Daniel Way is doing a fantastic job scripting this. This is one of those books, that you just can't wait till you get the next issue.
