Issue Description

The countdown to the series finale continues as the action takes us several days after Lono and Dizzy's first explosive meeting. Lono has emerged victorious and has his package for his new master. However his arrogance may have gotten the best of him as he does not realize the value of his prize. To make things worse he has underestimated Graves and overestimated his teams loyalty. Now that he has managed to irritate most of his former friends and colleagues, will his luck finally run out?

When you're a man like Lono, the world of the Minutemen comes at a price. And normally that price is on your own head. With Dizzy in his trunk, he calls Benny tell him hes got a present for him, then being the arrogant man he is calls Graves, taunting at how he took her out. Graves tells him that, whatever he has done to her, he will do the same to him. The man with arrogance that has no limits is no longer scared of a man who has nothing.

But what will Lono do when he is told that Graves also has fail safe word for him, just like all of the other Minutemen. What will the man of arrogance do when shown the cold truth that one word can send a bullet through you, keeping you quiet for all eternity.

The StoryAgent Graves and his team, the Minutemen

The story begins with the mysterious man named Agent Graves playing his weird life changing games. He gives different types of people an attaché which contains a gun, 100 untraceable bullets, a picture of a person that has wronged them and undisptuing evidence to back it up (a list of the recipients is linked here). Some of them succeeded and became a part of the big plan. Graves' plan was to bring down the Trust, a many centuries old secret organisation formed by the heads of thirteen European aristocratic families that has the control of the New World, for their betrayal. Graves gathered the remaining members of his team, the Minutemen and some new recruits. Step by step the sleeping Minutemen wake up by using the cryptic word "Croatoa" and the downfall of both teams starts.
