In Leaving Megalopolis: Surviving Megalopolis #4, the only hero left unaffected by the toxic force that has turned all powered heroes into homicidal maniacs is the non-super-powered Crimson Shadow. Along with his new sidekick Oriole, he has his hands full with a bunch of concerned citizens who have turned human sacrifices into a team sport. The Crimson Shadow’s former girlfriend Southern Belle has taken up crucifixion for a hobby and the team of specialists sent in to rescue billionaire Simon Valiant discover he doesn’t really want to be rescued and that is the really, really bad news.

Gail Simone serves up another thrill ride in Leaving Megalopolis: Surviving Megalopolis #4 Leaving Megalopolis: Surviving Megalopolis #4, which is turning out to be the title of the decade. This is: What is all the super-heroes turned evil? but without the safety net. In other titles that have gone this route you know that the status quo will always be re-instated but here, all bets are off.

Leaving Megalopolis: Surviving Megalopolis #4 serves up classic comic book plotting, multi-strand storylines with fully rounded characters and smokin’ hot artwork. Go buy the previous three issues and catch up, you won’t regret it.
