Orion and his brother Madagan have returned from seeming death to rebuild their old Soviet era organization known as “the Beast”!

And the irony is that they will use a former member of the Ghost Warriors to kill the rest who they hold responsible! Meanwhile, far away on the island nation of Kimarron, Afro Samurai wonders about the people who just saved his life: Colleen Wing, Monica Chang, John Wraith and Ward Strongbow! Exactly who are they and why did they rescue him? Colleen explains that they have been on the trail of Armless Tiger-Man for months as they were searching for the Prism as well. They are the only ones who know about the Beast's return and seek to stop them from getting their hands on the Prism. And with his help, they hope to put Orion and Madagan back into the grave!

“SECTION 28x”
• 1988... Section 28x of the UK's Local Government Act 1 came into effect, stating that a local authority shall not intentionally promote superheroism or the teaching in any school of the acceptability of superheroism as a viable life choice or career. The act was championed by the prime minister and Iron Lady herself, Margaret Thatcher, who is actually the former hero known as the ETERNAL BRAIN! Decades of sensory deprivation have maddened the Brain, making it strive to turn humanity into brains in jars. Getting rid of any superhuman opposition is the first step.
• The ANGEL and increasingly militant MARVEL BOY join with the HEADLESS HORSEMEN (anarchists inspired by the wartime villain the HEADLESS HORSEMAN) to set London ablaze before the Eternal Brain unleashes its FURIES!
