From BOOM Studios Written by Cullen Bunn with art by Vanesa R Del Rey I’ve been a fan of Cullen Bunn’s work since taking over Wolverine and the Captain America team up books back in 2012, so perhaps I was late to the party as he had been killing it on the Sixth Gun for some time. Currently, Bunn is currently writing Sinestro for DC Comics, Magneto for Marvel, the Remains for MonkeyBrain Comics, Godzilla: Cataclysm for IDW and so much more. That’s Charles Soule levels of busy. When this book was announced, I added it to my pull list without hesitation.

The most recent case, brings about two missing children, only seen in a picture on the wall of the home of the deceased and in the hands of a scarred woman who joined the afore mentioned religious group five years earlier. There is your mystery, folks. Where did these children...
