Stop me if you've heard this one before. A vampire, a witch, and a spy walk into a casino... Following last issue's explosive cliffhanger, this extended flashback continues! Tsukumari's hot on the trail of Gray and her mysterious magic-wielding partner, Erik, but the path set by this trio's encounter will have consequences that'll echo for decades to come. The apocalypse approaches, and this is ground zero. (W) Wyatt Kennedy (A/CA) Luigi Formisano
