Description
After the escape of notorious mobster Mon*Star torpedoed Stargazer's retirement plans, the erstwhile commander of the SilverHawks is scrambling to get his moribund program of cybernetically enhanced agents back on track. But the crime lord's prison break has given evildoers across the galaxy a head start over the forces of law and order - as Bluegrass and Hotwing find out when they discover Mon*Star meeting with their own employer, Poker-Face!
As the two desperately race to escape Poker Face's enforcers and inform the SilverHawks of his treachery, Stargazer faces a bigger challenge - convincing a traumatized Quicksilver to join the newly revived team!
Casino pit boss ED BRISSON (ThunderCats: Apex, The Uncanny X-Men) and professional card shark GEORGE KAMBADAIS (Gargoyles, Hercules) raise the stakes in the second issue of their no-limit series - with the house going all-in on covers from LUCIO PARRILLO, JAE LEE & JUNE CHUNG, JAMES STOKOE, GERALDO BORGES, IVAN TAO, LESLEY "LEIRIX" LI, MANIX, and DAVID COUSENS!
