Die Hard: Year One #2
This volume continues the origin story of John McClane, following his early days as a rookie NYPD officer in the 1970s. Written by Howard Chaykin and illustrated by Stephen Thompson, it collects issues #5-8 of the Boom! Studios miniseries, delving deeper into the events that shaped the iconic hero before the Nakatomi Plaza incident.
In Die Hard: Year One #2, McClane and Cruces hold the line against the massage parlor robber, but with Allan Oster now holding hostages and refusing to surrender, tension escalates. While Cruces takes command out front, McClane scouts for an alternate route, and in a chilling twist, Garrett Rice moves closer to his endgame—bringing in the small-time Mob Boss Bobby Nacamuli to finalize his plan for Terri Keller. Written by Howard Chaykin and illustrated by Gabriel Andrade Jr., with colors by Stephen Downer and letters by Ed Dukeshire, the issue’s cover by Joe Jusko and Dave Johnson captures the escalating danger.
In "null," McClane and Cruces close in on the massage parlor robber, but their victory is cut short when Allan Oster takes hostages and refuses to surrender. With Cruces leading the front, McClane scouts for a way in from the back, while Garrett Rice moves closer to executing his plans for Terri Keller—now with the help of small-time Mob Boss Bobby Nacamuli.
In "null," McClane moves through the hidden veins of the city—air ducts—unseen, closing in on Allan Oster and the Rice gang as their scheme unfolds. Meanwhile, Detective Cruces navigates a city plunged into darkness, racing against the silence to keep the chaos from spreading.
