Twists, Turns and Teases!
We open with a creators credits page, but it’s Aaron Lopresti not Tony Harris who rendered the variant cover.
There is a cool ad that is a riff on the Death and Return of Superman in the form of a Blu-Ray telling how Patron fought Woe, the Doomsday analogue, 30 years ago and seemingly lived to tell the tale.
Patron is a do-gooder, but…
…he’s not his own, but a sophisticated robot aka Reploid manned by Commander Conrad Kone under orders by the United Nations.
So, the actual Patron did die at the hands of Woe 30 years ago; we then meet the rest of the team including the pilot Nadia Ketz.
