Well, here we finally are: the big test! Cord’s mind control held Shatterstar in thrall while he had to split his attention between multiple (friendly) targets, but to focus entirely on one friend? On, arguably, his closest friend? If you’re reading this comic strip, you’ve probably read and/or seen enough science fiction and superhero stories to know how this one’s going to end.
The ending isn’t the only reason to read a story, though! The journey can be as rewarding as the destination (I hope)!
