In "Manipulation," Heather struggles to free herself from the Vindicator suit, which seems to be taking control—her mind fraying as she turns to Manikin for help. But the truth is far more unsettling: Manikin has just learned he’s a character in a comic, and any attempt to aid Heather might mean his death… according to the script. Written by Bill Mantlo and illustrated by Hugh Haynes, with inks by Gerry Talaoc and colors by Bob Sharen, this issue features a cover by Ciro Tota.
