In this Issue we meet Sarah. Sarah tells Maxx about her murderer father. We also meet Sarah’s friend Jimmy. Jimmy tells Sarah that he beat up a couple carjackers while he was trying to steal a car. The illustrations tell us that it was the Maxx that took care of the carjackers Both Sarah and Jimmy were teased in school. Wanting to be popular, Jimmy plays an embarrassing prank on Sarah at a school dance. Sarah narrates to us the she could have shot him with her dads gun but chose not to. Sarah goes to a movie and runs into Julie and Maxx. Unfortunately they also run into Jimmie’s car jackers. Maxx realizes they are Isz and pummels them to death. This disturbs Sarah and she threatens to shoot erself with her dad’s gun. Julie and Maxx gives Sarah a very touching speech. Sarah chooses not to be like her father and subsides.  *Note: Death of the Endless in displayed as a poster.  Sam Kieth help create her. Page 5, panels 4-5. Dialogue: "They're all Necro-Nerds. Sand-Freaks./They have tattoos and stuff saying how Romantic death is. But Jimmy Knows the Truth--like me./Death is hard an' cold an' UGLY/Not some cute chick!"  *In Page5, Panel 3 (referencing to the dialogue above.) there is a guy dressed up to look like Morpheus.   This is debatable to a true cameo.
