When the original Jack-in-the-Box died, it shattered two families and gave rise to new heroes...and new villains. Now, the true secrets of that day are revealed-and they may end the Jack-in-the-Box dynasty forever. Also featuring: The Drama Queen, Chekov's Gun, the Weirdies, the Trouble Boys and more. Part 2 of a 2-part look into one of Astro City's most popular heroes, illustrated by guest artist Ron Randall.
Just as we saw heroism and a desire to do good passed down in the last issue, here the hatred and need for vengeance leads to the creation of a new super-villain hell-bent on revenge for events she doesn't even understand. Finally uncovering the truth proves too much for the tortured soul who spent her entire life on a singular purpose which, now knowing the truth, can never be fulfilled. Worth a look. Read Full Review
