A criminal named Brainy and his associate Clarence plan an elaborate heist to steal diamonds, but their scheme unravels when police discover inconsistencies at the crime scene—three bodies shot from one gun, yet a fourth person unaccounted for. As detectives narrow their investigation and Brainy attempts to retrieve the stolen diamonds from a window ledge, he and his accomplices are forced to flee across rooftops and into the woods, ultimately leading to a desperate confrontation with law enforcement closing in on their location.

Contains 3 stories
The Torch
10 pp · Crime

Matches Brody, a ruthless arsonist despised even by hardened criminals, sets fires for hire across the city's slums—until he reluctantly takes on an obsessed admirer named Clarence as his partner, kicking off a deadly wave of blazes that catches the attention of the fire commissioner and law enforcement. As the fires mount and bodies pile up, Matches finds himself trapped in a dangerous game that's spiraling beyond his control. The hunt is on, and it's only a matter of time before the law closes in.

Blueprint for Death
10 pp · Crime

Tom "Brainy" Nelson lives up to his name by meticulously planning every detail of a jewelry store heist at the Harkness Building—he's scouted the location, the timing, his getaway, and even recruited accomplices to handle the distraction. But as the carefully orchestrated robbery unfolds at Martier's on the afternoon of the job, Nelson's scheme faces its first real test when the police arrive faster than expected. This ten-page crime tale shows what happens when a criminal's brilliant blueprint meets the unpredictable realities of pulling off the perfect job.

Jailbreak
10 pp · Crime

Charlie Gibson's stashed fortune is the only thing keeping him sane in prison—until his parole is denied, and a pair of lifers propose a desperate plan to break out and claim the money together. In "Jailbreak," written and illustrated by the creative team of Underworld Crime, three convicts execute an audacious escape, using homemade keys, a broken window, and nerve to slip past guards and over the prison wall. But freedom is only half the battle when the alarm sounds and the hunt begins.
