Working as a bodyguard at a super-hero convention, the Bulleteer finds herself enmeshed in the bizarre relationship between Li'l Hollywood, a faded super-impressionist, and her sidekick. As one tragedy unfolds, a second threatens when Alix finds herself in the sights an undead super-archer!
King of the Cats--Karl Kyle, brother to Selina Kyle. An astoundingly obscure Batman villain. Historically, Catwoman was instrumental in having Karl turn himself in to the police.
