To save Kady, Seth (Malice) returns to the comic world from which he escaped. With a rebel group called Havoc, Seth tries to prevent evil overlord Tall Jake from spreading his influence to the outside world. Given that the characters can enter a comic book plane, it's too bad more of the action doesn't take place there. Nevertheless, it's an intriguing read.
