Under the influence of Crossfire’s Undertaker Machine, Hawkeye and Mockingbird are soon forced to battle each other to the death. A surprise conclusion helps, but, ultimately, Mark Gruenwald’s auteur opus fails to meet its lofty aspirations.
READNow broke and homeless, Hawkeye and Mockingbird continue to come under attack from hired guns sent by Cross Technological Enterprises. Writer/artist Mark Gruenwald serves up some weak villains and a bland story for this miniseries’ penultimate issue.

READIntent on tracking down his own killer, Deadman learns a lesson about the cost of vengeance from the Phantom Stranger. A fairly weak story from Arnold Drake gets a nice boost from an early effort by artist Mike Grell.
