In "Bad News," Steel finds himself caught in a web of violence when a drug dealer's son becomes a pawn in a turf war between Crime Lords and the E-Street Gang. After learning of a serial killer targeting suspected child molesters, Steel tracks down psychic Rosie Kurtz—only to arrive moments too late, leaving him framed for her murder. Written by Louise Simonson and illustrated by Frank Fosco, with inks by Mark Stegbauer and colors by Robbie Busch, this tense 1994 issue features a chilling twist on justice, all set against a stark urban backdrop. The cover, by Chris Batista and Dennis Janke, captures the moment of dread with stark precision.

When Steel comes across the boy of a Crime Lord drug dealer named Crank, he learns from the police that there is a serial killer targeting suspected child molesters. The Crime Lords believe that the E-Street Gang is responsible for the death of Crank, so they retaliate. In stopping the firefight, Steel sees ex-Metropolis psychic Rosie Kurtz on television talking about the serial killer. Steel gets her contact information from Lieutenant Beryl, and then goes to her apartment, where she has just been strangled by the serial killer. Then the police arrive and arrest Steel for her murder.
