The Rundown: Marcus has a final confrontation with the killer that ruined his life.

After being framed for the murder of a police officer, Marcus goes to visit his friend Kase to apologize. As the two friends discuss the circumstances that brought them to the place they are now, Marcus reveals that he knows who killed Jess and Kase offers to find a way to help his friend.

Marcus comes up with a plan for stopping the killer once and for all and it involves him confronting the killer back at Jess’ apartment. He also discovers that the killer has been waiting for him and has arrived with a gift that will unnerve the young man as he the two have a final confrontation in the apartment. A final confrontation that Marcus will not have to face alone.

The Story: Wagner brings this story to a satisfying, if short, conclusion. I like the resolution between Marcus and Kase and what it leads to later in the issue. I like that the story keeps the momentum going from the cliffhanger last issue. There are some great moments throughout the issue and I like how the story ultimately ends for Marcus.

The Art: Hillyard creates some great art throughout the issue. I really love the character designs and the use of shadow throughout the issue.
