In "Jesse James parte prima: I guerriglieri," Yakushi—once a scientist working with the Germans on heavy water—awakens in a frozen medieval wilderness, utterly unharmed by the biting cold or a crossbow arrow that strikes him. The stark contrast between his modern past and this ancient, snow-laden realm sets the stage for a journey into mystery, with Rodolfo Torti handling both pencils and inks for the interior art, and José Ortiz bringing the cover to life with his distinctive style.

In "null," Simon arrives to photograph one of the world’s wealthiest men, only to find him dead in his study—no warning, no witnesses, just silence and a mystery that begins the moment the camera shutter clicks. The stark contrast between opulence and sudden stillness sets a tense, unflinching tone, all rendered in stark, typeset letters that echo the story’s cold precision.
