As we open up the new issue, our hero is getting zipped up into a body bag. I&#8217;d say that things were looking a little grim for him, but luckily he still has a few friends out in the world. And one of them had a master plan for getting him out of prison that (spoiler alert, I guess, which is a tricky concept when I&#8217;m reviewing an entire series in two weeks) actually involved him getting stabbed by somebody on the inside who knew how to make it look good without killing him, so it&#8217;s all fine. Some smart writing from Brian and some great work keeping the tension high. After Scar regains consciousness he gets the whole story from his lady lawyer friend and her two accomplices, right before someone starts shooting up the ambulance that he&#8217;s escaping in. Hey, why make things easy on the guy? The rest of the issue involves a whole lot of gunplay, a few people getting shot and some solid suspicions of betrayal, which keeps the story moving right along.\u00a0 No time to waste, I have more comics to read! $2.99<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/?attachment_id=24878\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-24878\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-24878\" src=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/IMG_20170701_0004-1-198x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"198\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/IMG_20170701_0004-1-198x300.jpg 198w, https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/IMG_20170701_0004-1-768x1163.jpg 768w, https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/IMG_20170701_0004-1-676x1024.jpg 676w, https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/IMG_20170701_0004-1-165x250.jpg 165w, https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/IMG_20170701_0004-1-116x175.jpg 116w, https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/IMG_20170701_0004-1-25x38.jpg 25w, https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/IMG_20170701_0004-1-142x215.jpg 142w, https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/IMG_20170701_0004-1.jpg 2006w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 198px) 100vw, 198px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Website Ruffians #9 When we closed out the last issue, our hero was getting stabbed at the end of a prison riot.
