Plus: The party enters the dragon's lair in search of a score in "Loaded Dice" by Chase and Lelay.
Newburn #14 delivers the riveting revelation of Newburns backstory, trading in tragedy and stylistic harmonies for maximum effect. Zdarskys script bypasses the worries of revealing backstory by operating in the twisted cycle of Newburn and Emily, establishing the similarities, and more importantly, the differences between the duo. Phillipss art reinforces those moments through the use of detailed anatomy and expression. Paired with the subtle shift in color palette and lettering differences, the issue becomes the ultimate expression of never escaping your core, no matter how much you try and gain. Read Full Review

It's a shame this book is coming to an end. The good books NEVER last long nowadays....
A pretty solid background to newburn. Was expecting something a little more unique, but it's a solid story.
