They say that what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas...
but when what happens is a pan-dimensional alien who wins all of Sin CIty in a
bet, then it is up to Youngblood to go all in. It’s double or nothing for
Shaft, Die Hard, Lady Phantom, Vogue and Cougar, with the fate of several
million people hanging in the balance.
(No pressure!) Also, FBI Agent
Jeff Terrell is one step closer to solving the mystery of a serial killer who
moves through time. All this takes place on the eve of the 75th issue of
YOUNGBLOOD!
