Comic description:
The comic starts out with Vince Valor (aka Liberty) running along the rooftops of downtown Seattle while narrating an internal monologue. After stumbling upon an alleyway robbery, he springs into action, battling the thug and saving a Seattle civilian. Once finished, he returns to his apartment to rest for the night, also concluding his narration for this issue.

Haha! Your bullet is out of bounds, fella!

Alright, ms. Looks like this guy is out for a nap.

Are you okay, ms.?

Good ol’ Explosive Stars.

Hey there, Ollie. Aren't you supposed to stay off the table?
Pan 5
Focus is on the backpack on the counter, where a portion of Vince’s costume is revealed, and he is leaving the scene to go into his room and the cat follows.

Caption

I fight for my friend. He knows this city is becoming corrupt because of street thugs and organized criminals. He would be fighting this war beside me, but a crime done to him resulting in paralysis got the best of him. I won’t let that happen to anyone else.

Not when the people I care about are endangered.

Justice is not my only ally, though. Faith guides me.
Pan 4
Vince flips open to a string-bookmarked page.

Whenever I’m faced with the injustice in this city, I rely on Jesus. I’ve created a place for Him in my life ever since the day Tanner was injured.
Pan 5

Caption

So what exactly happened on that day, you may ask?
Pan 6
Same as above panel except the apartment lights are turned off.

Well...that’s a story for another time.
