After a confrontation with Spawn, ShadowHawk goes up against a firebug called Arson.
SUMMARY :
At Morningside Park, four people were killed by thugs, attracting the attention of ShadowHawk, who beat them up. Meanwhile, Jamie Anthonette was at a party with Thurston J. Burns, when Vendetta told them that Lt. Jacks had arrived. Deputy Mayor Saul P. Davis arrived and spoke to Jacks, saying that the mayor had ordered the detective to stop pursuing ShadowHawk. Arson was burning down parts of the city. ShadowHawk met with Spawn, who left after the former told the latter of his plans to pursue Arson. Then, ShadowHawk jumped several stories off of a rooftop, attacking Arson. He defeated Arson by throwing a shuriken at his gas, causing an explosion. At the hospital, Tajana Juarez told her brother Jaime that she would go after the person who put him there (who happened to be ShadowHawk). Hojo was in an alley, feeling stomach pain and was searching for ShadowHawk. Meanwhile, the Liquifier emerged from the sewer.

Al Simmons made an appearance with Chapel and Duke.
アル・シモンズは生前、米国の秘密部隊に所属しており、その頃の姿はRob Liefeldの作品であるYOUNGBLOODシリーズにて何度も描かれている。特にChapelとの共演が多く、Chapelが主人公のコミックスにはAl:Spawnが登場している。
Rob LiefeldがImage Comicsにて最初に発表したのは”Youngblood #1(Apr. 1992)”。設定である国内処理HOMEチームと海外処理AWAYチームのストーリーをフリップ形式で描いた。但し、登場人物たちの稚拙な会話やデタラメな遠近法、背景を省くといった点で批評家からの評価が低いものだった。Rob自身も”Youngblood #1″を「disaster:大惨事」と言っている。Robは「”Youngblood”の設定には自信があり、問題はその描き方だ。」という思いがあったのだろう。そのためか、派生作品「Team Youngblood」「Brigade」「Prophet」「Battlestone」などを連発するが、ヒットに恵まれなかった。今号の「Youngblood:strikefile」もそれら一連の作品群のひとつ。
