When Irons' men ambush Michael, Sara rushes in to save him, only to be shot and left fighting for survival as the gauntlet bonds to her hand, transforming her in a moment of desperate need. With Michael’s fate sealed, Sara must confront the violent aftermath of a weapon that chooses its wielder with deadly consequences. The story is written by Brian Haberlin, David Wohl, Christina Z, and Michael Turner, with art by Michael Turner and inks by D-Tron, John DiRito, and Nathan Cabrera, colors by Nathan Cabrera and Jonathan D. Smith, and letters by Dennis Heisler. The cover by Michael Turner and D-Tron captures the gauntlet’s ominous presence in stark, striking detail.
