Cover: Chris Moreno & JM Ringuet
US District Attorney, Johnny Delgado, is dead… betrayed by a member of his own major crimes task force. Delta Special Forces officer Victor Reyes, home from battle in Afghanistan, is too late to save his blood brother from the drug lords. Assuming Johnny’s identity, Victor will leave a wake of bodies in his path of revenge against those who have blood on their hands.

The roar of his chopper a warning to all those who prey on the innocent.
From John Leekley, the Emmy Award-winning Executive Producer/Writer of Spawn: The Animated Series, and Michael D. Olmos, director of the Dark Horse feature film, Splinter, and featuring art by Chris Moreno and JM Ringuet.
