In "Tank Tinker Deals in Crates!", Hop and Tank take on a simple delivery job—transporting a crate of eggs to a lumber camp—but Tank’s ambition quickly takes flight. Convinced a bigger plane is the answer to handling more cargo, the duo’s routine mission soon spins into a high-flying experiment in aviation upgrades.

In "The Man Who Was First," a boy raised to always be number one faces a reckoning decades later when his relentless drive brings him into conflict with Green Lantern.
