Description
This is it... This is Gus's absolute last, last chance to find a place to fit in at Damage Control. Unfortunately, the only remaining department that will have him is the Deep Storage Vault - where he is tasked with cataloging the contents of all the endless rows of crates and containers. Seems like it should be fairly low-risk. However, this is Gus we're talking about, and before the day is over, there will be a massive morass of mechanical mayhem perpetrated by Machine Man, Jocasta, Sentry 459, TESS-ONE and Sentinels galore! HANS RODIONOFF and ADAM F. GOLDBERG continue to churn out hilarious word combinations, and NATHAN STOCKMAN serves up visual punchlines that will delight and entertain you as we conclude Gus' epic journey through Damage Control!
