Plot Summary

Overview
Wizard Top Ten writer and multiple Eisner Award-winner Brian K. Vaughan (Y: The Last Man; Ex Machina; Runaways) digs into Escapist lore to bring out the ultimate betrayal-Luna Moth, as an agent of the Iron Chain! Is her mind under the Saboteur's control, or is she his willing accomplice? The Escapist is caught in a "good old-fashioned death trap," but his longtime enemy has confiscated the Golden Key-the source of his powers-and has drugged him out of his mind! Nowwhat?! Jason Shawn Alexander (Damn Nation, The Secret) moodily illustrates what may be the Escapist's last adventure.

Back in the real world, artist Steve Rolston (Queen & Country, One Bad Day) joins up with Denny, who is ready to fake a confession for the high-profile publicity stunt that landed him downtown. Add in Case's daring, hang-gliding confrontation in a darkened building, and it leads to the moment all you hopeless romantics have been waiting for!

     Okay, well the cover is not exactly spectacular. look at the lips, what the hell happened there. In this issue the kids try to get the big buisness that is trying to aquire the rights to the Escapist off of their backs. Gone in this issue is the hollier than thou independent book speaches. Instead we get a straight forward small adventure story. That still remains unique. It walks a fine line and some times crosses onto the ridiculous side of things, but over all the series is back on track.  The art is still mediocre, but that is only a small hinderance.
