This is basically just a fire hose of exposition and considering how much of it there is, I don’t actually feel this added much to the first issue.
The Peril of the Brutal Dark: An Ezra Cain Mystery #2

After a tip sends Ezra to the Clockworkers’ Union in Brooklyn, he’ll come face to face with the mechanical menac...

End of Life #2
Okay, so maybe hiding out in this podunk town with his sick father, estranged ex, and nauseatingly pleasant townsfolk was a bad idea. But Eddie has a plan to make things right. If he can just giveback what he stole from the Raven, no harm no foul, right? His accomplices, the Murder Brothers, will help him out...right? Wrong, dog. Very wrong.
I didn’t care for the change in perspective. Zombie-developing-feelings is a fairy unoriginal premise, but I think the ideas of activism and passive cruelty offered a really unique perspective that spoke to Deniz’ strengths.

Because the killer doesn't know it, but they left a trace
