Taking a look at the first (of three) one-shots tying into the Cataclysm event and finding out what happens at 7:03pm when the Verybadthing happens… at a prison full of violent, dangerous, and angry fellas! Believe it or not, a humanoid bat-figure gets his land legs back and figures into things!
Plus: a very special NMaiLbag!
This was a good supplemental story. Not necessary in the least to understand the greater overall storyline, but a good story none the less. It was a good way to get completionists like me to pay $3 for a book that I didn’t need, yet still not feel cheated out of that $3.
I’m betting this issue was not a part of those trades you bought.
