REVIEW
The first two pages, the Big Boy fight, Johnny taking Crynge as payment and the 'be careful what you wish for' ending are all great. Note that the tagline doesn't read "Next Week: Johnny, Wulf And Crynge Will Be Back In Two Week's Time, Troopers!"

Next Week: Johnny And Wulf Will Be Back In Two Week's Time, Troopers!
