“The Return of Kaine Part 1: Reluctant Lazarus”

In "The Return of Kaine Part 1: Reluctant Lazarus," Kaine—once thought dead—awakens in a world that doesn’t want him back, resurrected by a wealthy businessman with a twisted game in mind. As a spider skeleton is discovered in the smokestack, the stage is set for a haunting, high-stakes return. Written by Todd DeZago and brought to life with dynamic art by Sal Buscema, this pivotal issue marks a bold new chapter in Kaine’s story, with inks by Al Milgrom and colors by Chia-Chi Wang and Malibu. The cover, also by Sal Buscema, captures the eerie tension of a resurrection long overdue.
