Desperadoes: A Moment's Sunlight #[nn]
In "Chapter 1: A Moment's Sunlight," Gideon and his crew make a stop in a quiet town to reconnect with old friends, only to find themselves caught in a haunting moment when Ned, gravely injured after a train accident, is visited by spectral echoes of the Battle of Chancellorsville—where he once lost an arm. Written by Jeff Mariotte and brought to life with striking visuals by John Cassaday, whose dynamic pencils and inks define the issue’s moody, otherworldly tone, this story blends gritty realism with supernatural unease. The cover, also by Cassaday, captures the eerie stillness of the moment, setting the stage for a journey into memory and loss.
