They're the Star Slammers -- they've done it a million times harder a million times before. But when they got there, it was like the Skyes . . . they were waiting. Like they knew someone had put a hit on them. And they were ready to hit back. When it was over, Commander Rojas had become the first Star Slammer ever captured alive! And if the Skyes have their way, he won't stay alive for long! FC. CONTINUITY NOTE: This is the previously unpublished fifth issue of the cancelled Bravura (1994) series. Cover price $2.95.
