As the Tracer closes in on the truth, he finds himself pulled deeper into Bright's dangerous operations.

Now wanted by the F.B.I. and considered extremely dangerous, this fugitive remains at large, and *Wanted Comics* is on the hunt for leads that could bring him in.

Lumps Ryan's got ambition in spades—so much so that he'll do anything to claw his way to the top of the underworld, from pulling off a payroll robbery to muscling his way into Fats Martin's gang.

But in the world of crime, the higher you climb, the more dangerous the fall—and Lumps is about to learn that lesson the hard way.
