Legends of Tomorrow #5
In "United We Fall, Part 5," Keith Giffen and Bilquis Evely deliver a sharp, character-driven flashback as Spike recounts his early days with partner Sugar, revealing how their first case—uncovering a scheme by the minor villain Colonel Computron—earned them a surprising nod from the Justice League. The story, illustrated with precision and flair by Evely and colored by Ivan Plascencia, sets up their future role as the League’s go-to operatives for delicate missions, all framed through a grounded, wryly told tale. Chad Hardin’s cover captures the duo’s uneasy camaraderie with a striking, noir-tinged portrait.

Spike recounts for his friend Bernie the story of how he and Sugar, when first starting out as private investigators, stumbled across and stopped a plot by minor villain Colonel Computron. This led to recognition by the Justice League, who would go on to hire the duo for future cases that would require discreet handling.
