Written by Steve Niles and Todd McFarlaneArt by Paul Lee
This issue had a nice little done-in-one inventory story written by Steve Niles and series creator Todd McFarlane. Neither of these writers are people I'm usually too fond of (I have given Niles a ton of chances, but he always seems to come up short on executing some truly excellent concepts), but this story worked quite well.
Sam gets a mysterious phone call one day, and has to go to prison to see his brother, who we never knew he had. It seems that, while Sam took the right path in life, his brother always ended up making the wrong choices, and landed himself in a lifetime of incarceration and trouble with the law.
This story, about the relationship of brothers and the guilt they carry for each other's failings has a number of flashbacks to childhood, and helps to develop Sam's character even further. It's a good story, and it has the same terrific artwork as the last arc.
