Alright, then. Time to actually gather that pesky 5. This 4-issue stunt is the actual end of the era. You want something like this to really go for it, to really come…

TAC 262
I weirdly don’t remember how this was all going for me back in the day. I remember the story, I remember what happens, but was I into it? Over it? Did I…
ASM 440
Suddenly, out of nowhere, John Byrne appears. His involvement in all this seemed random at first, but it becomes so pervasive that he must’ve been part of all the planning. By this…
ASM 206

MTU 066
A single, individual dollar! This is the first appearance of Murder World. Auspicious. The boys wake up in clear plastic globes, which turn out to be inside a giant pinball table, because…
