Issue Details

Synopsis

BAD DAYS AND WORSE Selina was unable to catch up with Red Blade and Ted but she had a pretty good feeling where they were all going. With her underworld connections, Selina learns that Giacomo Volpe was running the casino for his eldest brother Luciano, a mafia refugee who lives on Hasaragua Island because he mutilated a few FBI agents. Selina arrives on the island and finds Luciano's villa which is swarming with carnivorous komodo dragons.  Selina can hear Jocko begging for his life and telling Luciano that their mother wouldn't be too happy about any this. Luciano laughs because he already butchered their mother then he asks Jocko one last time where the money is. Jocko swears to Luco that he doesn't know where the money is and Luco believes him so he ends their conversation by putting a powered drillbit through Jocko's head. Luco turns his attention to Clawhammer's crew. Luco figures if any of them knew where the money was then they would have said it after watching Jocko's body twitch. Luco tells Red Blade to incinerate them.   Selina enters Luco's home and finds an entry way into Luco's torture chamber. Selina peers through a door window and watches as Red Blade severs Clawhammer's hands off with a seering hot power saw. Luco asks WIldcat to give up Catwoman's location but Wildcat refuses to give in. Luco jams a cattle prod to Ted's stomach. Luco becomes more and more furious because Ted's pain threshold won't allow him to scream which is what Luco is wanting to hear. With the constant prodding, Ted's adrenaline spikes up his muscle strength and allows him to break his bonds.   Ted punches Luco's face and breaks his nose. Red Blade restrains Ted while Luco gets to his feet. Luco pulls out a laser generated blade that he intends to use by skinning Ted layer by layer. Catwoman surprises Luco from behind by drop kicking him and he accidentally cuts Red Blade. Selina distracts Red Blade as he tries to torch her with his flame thrower while Ted fends for himself against Luco. Luco grabs a mace and charges at Ted. Clawhammer comes from behind and puts Luco into a choke hold. Clawhammer snaps Luco's neck before passing out.   Wildcat goes to Catwoman's rescue by putting Red Blade in a head lock. As Red Blade struggles to get Wildcat off of him, his flame thrower hits a few oxygen tanks. Ted tells Selina to put Clawhammer onto a gurney and wheel him out before the tanks blow. Selina gets Clawhammer to safety and looks back to see any sign of Ted. An explosion erupts and destroys one part of the villa. Ted escapes the second explosion by jumping out of a window. Ted and Selina haul Clawhammer into Luco's private chopper. Selina gets the chopper going and they take to the skies. Selina and Ted finally kiss while Clawhammer lays unconscious in the back. Selina suggests to Ted that they should head to some place nice like Rio or Paris for their next date.
