In "The Night Negative Man Went Berserk, Part 1," Ray James becomes obsessed with his reclusive neighbor Meeker’s mysterious invention, convinced it can turn metal into gold overnight. When James acts on his suspicion and commits a violent act, he’s left stunned by the truth: the machine was never functional. Jay McArdle’s stark art brings the creeping dread of betrayal and delusion to life, while Bruno Premiani’s cover captures the eerie tension of the moment.
