Detailed summary

Diptych
Broca Beach, Mutt and Shockwave are fighting against Headman and his Headhunters in a funhouse. Cutter and Bullet-Proof, leave Fred Jr. with his mother's body and an assault rifle.

Fred Jr. decides to take matters into his own hands and vows to never be pushed around again. The trio teams up with locals to fight Headman and save Mutt and Shockwave. However, Headman manages to escape through a secret hatch in the floor. Fred Jr. takes the gun and heads to the nearest town to trade it for drugs.

Meanwhile, in the Gulf of Mexico, Flint orders Ozone to execute plan B. Flint and Clean-Sweep attempt to escape from Cesspool, but are unsuccessful.

Other Notes

Errors

  • Two issues ago, Fred's son was named Sean. Now he's Fred Jr.
  • Mutt's mustache disappears and reappears constantly.

Items of note

  • Two stories are told concurrently, dividing the pages evenly.
  • Both stories have a distinctive panel border: normal straight lines for the DEF, wavy "liquid" lines for the Eco-Warriors.
  • Fred's gun has his number on it: LXV.
  • Nice piece of business with Fred Jr. and his father's gun: you assume he's going to come across the escaping Headman and shoot him, but instead he merely trades it in for more drugs.
  • Shockwave appears in the cover corner box. Snake-Eyes, had been up there since #109.

Dossiers

  • The dossier in this issue features Zartan, with art by Larry Hama and Jimmy Palmiotti.
