Keeping up with the Aftershock theme thus far, this issue is another search-and-rescue… with a slight (and sobering) tweak on the formula. What happens when a group of trapped partygoers run out of food?
Plus: A look at the first slew of Cataclysm ratings in Wizard Magazine, and a trip into Flashback Land for a peek Bat-adjacent USENET chatter circa early 1998!
All that plus a dip into the NMaiLbag!

These aftershock issues are quickly becoming interesting looks at what could happen to people after such a disaster. Just how bad did it have to get for civilized people to result to such barbaric actions. For Batman stories without any supervillains to fight I’m enjoying Aftershocks.
I was never a usenet user, but I love the look at the fandom of the day. Letters columns and internet chat rooms and old school APAs are the archives of all those wonderful conversations from every comic shop everywhere.
