🩸⚫ G-LOCK / DA HANDLERS — Issue Ending: “RETURN”
Short Synopsis
After Rico disappears into the darkness of Pacifica South, everyone assumes he’s dead.
The alley is left empty except for rainwater, drifting trash, and a fading blood trail swallowed by the city itself. Meanwhile, Malik sits quietly outside the liquor store wearing the new G-LOCK jacket, sensing something changing beneath the surface.
Then the city answers back.
Late that night, something begins dragging itself through the streets.
Broken limbs.
Blood smeared across the pavement.
Lobos colors torn apart.
It’s Rico.
Alive.
But wrong.
As civilians panic and both the Handlers and Lobos rush toward the scene, Malik arrives last—calm, unreadable, already understanding this is bigger than survival.
The issue ends with a terrifying realization:
Pacifica South didn’t give Rico back.
It returned something else wearing his body
