Free to read · restored edition by comicbooks.com · Issue details →
In the rain-slicked town of Brown Hook, Arizona, the Tinson brothers—fleeing a $1,500 bounty—seek refuge at the Lucky Seven Saloon, only to be betrayed by Ginger, who sells them out to Lead Stryker, a so-called "reformed" outlaw with a deadly side hustle. Stryker lures them to a remote hideout under the guise of protection, but his true plan is to collect a much larger reward by murdering them—until the Black Diamond arrives to expose his scheme.
Black Diamond arrives in the quiet town of Poplar Valley, tracking a gang of outlaws who’ve vanished into its law-abiding streets. As he and his partner Bumper investigate, strange clues and a suspiciously familiar face point to a deception deeper than the desert heat—where the real danger might be hiding in plain sight.
In the dusty town of Starke, Oklahoma, the masked marshal Black Diamond investigates the murder of John Carter and the wrongful hanging of an innocent man, uncovering a web of corruption led by self-appointed boss Bo Foster. When a tense gun duel erupts between Paul Kemp and Hank Conners, Black Diamond must navigate shifting loyalties and hidden threats as the true mastermind behind the violence begins to reveal himself.
