Solicit Synopsis:
Blastaar's alien army has seized 42, the Initiative's prison in the Negative Zone. Someone has to take it back, and the Taskmaster has assembled a team to do just that. But when Komodo looks around her at the squad of Z-list super-villains she's supposed to go into battle with, she wonders if this is a recovery job...or a suicide mission! And when she encounters familiar faces who had been incarcerated within the prison, will they be friend or foe? Also, because you demanded it--the return of Butterball!
Notes
- Split into two chapters. Chapter 1, "Even the Losers" is told by Johnny Guitar as he explains his life, how he came to join the Initiative, and how he knew he would die. Chapter 2, "The Taking of 42" focuses on the rest of the Shadow Initiative as they retake the Negative Zone prison, 42, from Blastaar's troops.
- "Even the Losers" is a song originally performed by Tom Petty.
- The quote attributed to Bruce Springsteen is from his song The River.
