“Learning the Game”

In "Learning the Game," Brian Kinney takes on the role of Altar Boy, the sidekick to the enigmatic Confessor, as he begins his training in the shadows of the city. Frustrated by the Confessor’s cryptic ways and eager to prove himself, Brian’s first solo mission pulls him into the mystery of a Crackerjack gone rogue—far from the Shadow Hill murders he’s desperate to solve. Written by Kurt Busiek and illustrated by Brent E. Anderson, with inks by Will Blyberg, colors by Alex Sinclair, and letters by John G. Roshell, the issue features a striking cover by Alex Ross.
