Nova #229
In "Catharsis," Grifter—still reeling from a world-saving mission—finds himself stranded in Nicaragua, only to be ambushed by the enigmatic Neo, who steals his guns and vanishes. Determined to reclaim his weapons, Grifter tracks Neo to Taiwan, where he infiltrates a high-stakes warehouse showdown that spirals out of control when Diabolik arrives, hunting a stolen nuclear detonator. Written by Steven T. Seagle and illustrated by Ryan Benjamin, with inks by Tom McWeeney and colors by Wendy Fouts and Wildstorm Effects, this issue blends tense action with a grounded, character-driven edge. The cover, penciled by Benjamin and inked by McWeeney, captures the moment just before chaos erupts.
In "null," Backlash and Taboo pursue the elusive S'yrn to a high-stakes celebrity gala in Chicago, where the villain has set his sights on Jacob Marlowe, leader of the WildC.A.T.S. As tension escalates and violence erupts, the Savage Dragon unexpectedly enters the fray, turning the tide in a moment of chaos.
In the aftermath of a global crisis, Grifter settles into a quiet life in Nicaragua—until Neo ambushes him, steals his guns, and vanishes. Determined to reclaim his weapons, Grifter tracks Neo to Taiwan, only to find himself caught in a deadly game when Diabolik arrives, hunting a nuclear detonator Neo’s been holding.
