Chapter Four
by Matthew Rosenberg, Stefano Landini, Jason Wordle, Roman Titov, Hassan Otsman-Elhaou

Two days ago, as VEIL was attacking Dante Alderman’s island, Agent Rook tried to engage Alderman in a conversation but Alderman ended the conversation fairly abruptly.

In the present, the SADIKS pulls Annalise out of the water. She has lost an arm. It gives her one of its arms, steals a vehicle, and tries to get to somewhere safe. They stop in a town. Annalise gets out and talks to some kids. Rook shows up and tries to take her but the SADIKS interferes with that plan. Annalise and the SADIKS get away in Rook’s car, leaving him behind. The vehicle they were in was totaled during the fight with Rook.

Part 3: Hank Weer and Brock Emmady
Jan 22 - May 10, 1960

04/27/26
Jan 22-23, 1960 - Adam and Joel arrive home. Bessie is working on dinner. Adam wants to know where Susie and Buzz are at. Bessie has no idea. Adam goes looking for his two youngest kids. They are hiding in his studio. Susie tells Buzz to keep quiet. Their faces are dirty.

I have no idea what Susie and Buzz have been doing. Maybe they will play a bigger role in this arc than they did in the first two arcs.

Underworld (1987) 1

Underworld (1987) 1
Dec 1987

Prowess
by Robert Loren Fleming, Ernie Colón, Adrienne Roy, John Workman, Len Wein

This story, according to the note on page seven, is about the underworld, presumably the criminal underworld. For the most part what I found in this issue was a story about four police officers. I’m not sure how they directly and indirectly interact with the criminal underworld. Maybe this issue is the preface or the introduction. Maybe some of these police officers have ties to the criminal underworld or will develop them as the story evolves. I don’t know.
