Heading west, the Renegades have found themselves at the end of Route 66 in a little town called Los Angeles, California.

After the harrowing ordeals of the past several weeks, the Renegades found themselves enjoying a perfect beachside day and a much-deserved rest. Then it all went horribly wrong. Kris Hathaway, seemingly experiencing a psychotic break and claiming to be following instructions from troubling voices inside the ocean itself, managed to violently attack Torque, bludgeoning him beyond recognition. Has a member of the Renegades murdered one of their own? And if so…why?
The shocking saga of “Perfect Day” continues as a teammate falls – and reality sets in – only in Harbinger #16, on sale September 18th!
