This is Part 4 of my Astro City coverage. Watch the full playlist here: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmbwJBo5bk09Mv--cT7F8yt9TXT9ESf03
Full Comic Story and Review/Recap for Astro City Volume 4: Tarnished Angel. Murder in a bad neighborhood, It’s Only Kiefer Square...a run-down eyesore of tenements and lost hopes, the home of petty criminals, down-and-outers, hired muscle and worse. And nobody cares – not the cops, not the city, and certainly not the super-heroes that soar above Astro City, making the world safe for everyone else. So when someone starts killing the small-time super-villains of Kiefer Square, it falls to one man to do something about it. Steeljack, a.k.a. the Steel-Jacketed Man. Just out of prison, he wants nothing more than a straight job, a place to sleep and three square meals a day. He’s not smart. He’s not brave. And he doesn’t want the job. But he has something the people of Kiefer Square desperately need. He’s hard to kill. He’ll have to be.
