Harsh! If I’d had more space, it would have been fun to have a BREAKING BAD “Walter White returns to buy the carwash he got fired from” moment to let us see Zena crushing the Maguire Institute underfoot, but sadly, […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Here, Zena Zarthos begins to tell her story to The Corpse, unlocking the motive behind the mass murderer targeting her and beheading those associated to her. The full exposition dump comes tomorrow, but here, we see one crucial element that […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
