Detonator #3
an issue of Detonator by Image Comics
Issue description
The Concept: Frank Grace attended the South Dakota School of Mines, learned to handle
explosives and went to work for Grindcorps. Leasing a mine they knew to be played out,
Grindcorps took out an enormous insurance policy, doctored Frank's charge so that it
brought the mountain down on him, then collected his life insurance. Unfortunately for
Grindcorps, Frank emerges weeks later, obtains plastic surgery in Costa Rica and returns
to wreak his vengeance. The Detonator can explode anything from a skyscraper to a wine
glass with no collateral damage.
This Issue: Manglebaum and Frank square off in the mine, with Lilly's life at stake. As Frank reconstructs the past, he realizes that the mining disaster that turned him into a vigilante was just the beginning. The Twenty Step Vipers have a more ambitious project in mind, one that will claim thousands, if not millions of lives.
