(even) the kind of relationships he's had in the past, as well as in the present, since in part it's kind of a beauty-and-the-beast tale," revealed Jolley. "At the same time, though, this has turned out to be one of the most gut-wrenchingly violent stories I've ever read, and by far the harshest one I've ever written... it never lets up." - THE WARNING: This series is rated MarvelPG+ due to violence. 32 pages, FC Cover price $2.99.
